Abstract excerpt
Molecular diversity of T-type/Ca(v)3 Ca2+ channels is created by expression of three genes and alternative splicing of those genes. Prompted by the important role of the I-II linker in gating and surface expression of Ca(v)3 channels, we describe here the properties of a novel variant that partially deletes this loop. The variant is abundantly expressed in rat brain, even exceeding transcripts with the complete...
