The calcium activated property of these channels allows them to participate in vaso-regulation, auditory tuning of hair cells, and also the circadian rhythm. Researchers were trying to figure out which channels were responsible for the re-polarization and after-hyperpolarization of action potentials.
A calcium channel is an ion channel which shows selective permeability to calcium ions. ... /Q-type calcium channel: HVA (high voltage activated) Ca v 2.1
An L-type calcium channel with its subunits labeled along with some drugs known to inhibit the channel. The L-type calcium channel (also known as the dihydropyridine channel, or DHP channel) is part of the high-voltage activated family of voltage-dependent calcium channel. [2] "L" stands for long-lasting referring to the length of activation.
Calcium release-activated channels (CRAC) are specialized plasma membrane Ca 2+ ion channels. When calcium ions (Ca 2+) are depleted from the endoplasmic reticulum (a major store of Ca 2+) of mammalian cells, the CRAC channel is activated to slowly replenish the level of calcium in the endoplasmic reticulum.
P-type calcium channel ("Purkinje") /Q-type calcium channel: HVA (high voltage activated) Ca v 2.1 : α 2 δ, β, possibly γ: Purkinje neurons in the cerebellum / Cerebellar granule cells: N-type calcium channel ("Neural"/"Non-L") HVA (high voltage activated) Ca v 2.2 : α 2 δ/β 1, β 3, β 4, possibly γ: Throughout the brain and peripheral ...
BK channels (big potassium), are large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, [1] also known as Maxi-K, slo1, or Kca1.1. BK channels are voltage-gated potassium channels that conduct large amounts of potassium ions (K + ) across the cell membrane , hence their name, big potassium .
Ca v 2.1, also called the P/Q voltage-dependent calcium channel, is a calcium channel found mainly in the brain. [5] Specifically, it is found on the presynaptic terminals of neurons in the brain and cerebellum. [5] Ca v 2.1 plays an important role in controlling the release of neurotransmitters between neurons. [5]
Calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 is a calcium selective ion channel that in humans is encoded by the ORAI1 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Orai channels play an important role in the activation of T-lymphocytes .
