Abstract excerpt
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent inactivation (CDI) of CaV channels is a critical regulatory process that tunes the kinetics of Ca2+ entry for different cell types and physiologic responses. CDI is mediated by calmodulin (CaM), which is bound to the IQ domain of the CaV carboxy tail. This modulatory process is tailored by alternative splicing such that select splice variants of CaV1.3 and CaV1.4 contain a long distal...
