The genetic background affects the vascular response in T‐type calcium channels 3.2 deficient mice

Abstract

EditorialThe genetic background affects the vascular response in T-type calcium channels 3.2 deficient mice Voltage-gated calcium channels (Ca v ) are important regulators of vascular tone and are attractive targets for pharmacological treatment of hypertension. The clinically used calcium blockers are often not selective for one channel but affect several types of calcium channels (Hansen 2015). L-type channels are the dominant Ca 2+ entry pathway in vascular smooth muscle
