Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: In this study, we describe a new knock-in (KI) mouse model that allows the study of the H191-dependent regulation of T-type Cav3.2 channels. Sensitivity to zinc, nickel and ascorbate of native Cav3.2 channels is significantly impeded in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons of this KI mouse. Importantly, we describe that this H191-dependent regulation has discrete but significant effects on the...
