Mutations in a Drosophila alpha2delta voltage-gated calcium channel subunit reveal a crucial synaptic function.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 2 Jan 2008

Dickman Dion K, Kurshan Peri T, Schwarz Thomas L

Abstract excerpt

Voltage-dependent calcium channels regulate many aspects of neuronal biology, including synaptic transmission. In addition to their alpha1 subunit, which encodes the essential voltage gate and selective pore, calcium channels also contain auxiliary alpha2delta, beta, and gamma subunits. Despite p...
