Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Cav2.3 (R-type) voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels (VACCs), encoded by the calcium channel, voltage-dependent, R-type, α1E subunit (CACNA1E) gene, are responsible for transmission of somatic inflammatory pain, and activation of antinociception elicited by visceral inflammatory pain stimuli. Carriers of the minor G allele of the rs3845446 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the CACNA1E gene...
