Quantitative aspects of L-type Ca2+ currents

Microtubule organization and L-type voltage-activated calcium current in olfactory neuronal cells obtained from patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

“…However, despite that the neuronal precursors of patients with BD have shorter microtubules, no differences were observed in that current. Thus, it is possible that in addition to alteration in microtubule organization in SZ neurons, a reduction in channel density, diminished channel unitary conductance, or reduced trafficking, may occur to explain the reduced amplitude of the L-type Ca 2+ current (Tuckwell, 2011).…”

Calcium signals induced by FGF-2 in parasympathetic neurons: Role of second messenger pathways

“…The combined activation of cationic and K + channels could be responsible for the slow increase in ] i could be responsible for this effect [24].…”

Insulinotropic effect of high potassium concentration beyond plasma membrane depolarization

“…Apparently, return from inactivation to the resting state can proceed at such a continuous depolarized potential, and quite small depolarizations are sufficient to trigger renewed activity. It is known that activation of the L-type channel does not necessarily conform to a classical high-voltage characteristic (14,27).…”
