Abstract excerpt
L-type voltage dependent Ca(2+) channels (L-VDCCs; Ca(v)1.2) are crucial in cardiovascular physiology. In heart and smooth muscle, hormones and transmitters operating via G(q) enhance L-VDCC currents via essential protein kinase C (PKC) involvement. Heterologous reconstitution studies in Xenopus...
