Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C (PKC)-induced phosphorylation and G protein-mediated inhibition of Ca(V)2.2 N-type Ca2+ channels counteract exerting opposing modulatory responses at the channel level. At present, the most striking question remaining is whether prominent enhancement of the Ca2+ current (I(Ca)) observed under PKC activation arises from relief of G-protein tonic inhibition. Here, by using patch-clamp methods in...
