Tissue distribution and possible function of the subunits of the L-type calcium channels
L-type calcium channels are present in many tissues and are the major pathway for voltage activated calcium entry in heart and smooth muscle and are essential for EC-coupling in skeletal muscle. The transverse...

The Structure of the Skeletal and Nonskeletal Muscle Calcium Channel
A number of fundamental biological processes such as mobility, secretion, and neurotransmission are regulated by a change in the cytosolic calcium concentration. The cytosolic calcium concentration is raised f...

Site-Specific Phosphorylation of the Skeletal Muscle Receptor for Calcium-Channel Blockers by cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase
Voltage-operated calcium channels are important factors in excitation-contraction coupling of cardiac and smooth muscle. The cardiac L-type calcium channel was the first channel known to be modified by hormone...

Reconstitution of Solubilized and Purified Dihydropyridine Receptor from Skeletal Muscle Microsomes as Two Single Calcium Channel Conductances with Different Functional Properties
Calcium entry through voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) is a vital link between membrane depolarization and cellular function (Hille 1984). In many excitable cells, the entry of Ca2+ ions can be inhibi...

Biochemistry and Physiology of Cardiac Calcium Channels
The voltage-dependent slow calcium channel allows the passive movement of calcium across the plasma membrane of a variety of excitable cells and regulates thereby directly or indirectly the cytosolic calcium c...
