Voltage-gated calcium channels are required for many key functions in the body. In this
review, the different subtypes of voltage-gated calcium channels are described and their …

Voltage-gated calcium (Ca2+) channels are key transducers of membrane potential
changes into intracellular Ca2+ transients that initiate many physiological events. There are …

▪ Abstract Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels mediate Ca2+ entry into cells in response to
membrane depolarization. Electrophysiological studies reveal different Ca2+ currents …

The small (40S) subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes is believed to bind initially at the capped 5'-
end of messenger RNA and then migrate, stop** at the first AUG codon in a favorable …

How is the heartbeat generated? What controls the strength of contraction of heart muscle?
What are the links between cardiac structure and function? How does our understanding of …

The heart is a rhythmic electromechanical pump, the functioning of which depends on action
potential generation and propagation, followed by relaxation and a period of refractoriness …

Chemical synapses are heterogeneous junctions formed between neurons that are
specialized for the conversion of electrical impulses into the exocytotic release of …

Gabapentin (1-(aminomethyl) cyclohexane acetic acid; Neurontin) is a novel anticonvulsant
drug, with a mechanism of action apparently dissimilar to that of other antiepileptic agents …

Voltage‐gated calcium channels are essential players in many physiological processes in
excitable cells. There are three main subdivisions of calcium channel, defined by the pore …

The sequence of 5,037 amino acids composing the ryanodine receptor from rabbit skeletal
