T1 Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels: Classification and Pharmacological Properties JF International Journal of Physiology and Pathophysiology JO IJPP YR 2018 FD 2018-06-12 VO 9 IS 1 SP 85 OP 97 K1 voltage-gated calcium channels K1 blockers of calcium channels K1 conotoxin AB Calcium influx though voltage-gated calcium channels mediates a huge number of physiological events and cellular responses. Numerous scientific reports indicate that calcium channels are involved in synaptic transmission, neurotransmitter release, regulation of gene expression, cellular membrane voltage oscillations, pacemaker activity, secretion of specific substances from nerve and secretory cells, morphological differentiation, activation of calcium-dependent enzymes, etc. This review represents physiological and pharmacological properties of voltage-gated calcium channels expressed in mammalian cells.
