Abstract excerpt
Genetic analyses have revealed an important association between P/Q-type calcium channel activities and hereditary neurological disorders. The P/Q-type channels are composed principally of heterologous multimeric subunits including CaV2.1 and CaVβ4. Of these, the β4 subunit is thought to play a significant role in channel physiology, because a mouse line mutant in that subunit (the lethargic mouse: lh) exhibits a...
