Different Voltage-dependent Inhibition by Dihydropyridines of Human Ca2+ Channel Splice Variants
1 May 1995
Abstract excerpt
Voltage-dependent inhibition by 1,4-dihydropyridines is a characteristic property of L-type Ca2+ channels. Six out of 50 exons of the channel alpha 1C subunit gene are subjected to alternative splicing, thus generating channel isoform diversity. Using Xenopus oocytes as an expression system, we have found that transmembrane segment IIIS2 of human alpha 1C subunit is involved in the control of voltage dependence...
