Abstract excerpt
T-type calcium channels are important modulators of both membrane potential and intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, allowing them to play key roles in such diverse processes as aldosterone production from adrenal glomerulosa cells to boosting pain signals in nociceptors. In both these examples, the Ca(v)3.2 isoform mediates Ca(2+) influx. This isoform is also of particular interest because mutations in its gene...
