Note

  • L-, N-, P-, Q-, R-, and T-Type CALCIUM CHANNELS are available

Scope note

  • Voltage-dependent cell membrane glycoproteins selectively permeable to calcium ions. They are categorized as L-, T-, N-, P-, Q-, and R-types based on the activation and inactivation kinetics, ion specificity, and sensitivity to drugs and toxins. The L- and T-types are present throughout the cardiovascular and central nervous systems and the N-, P-, Q-, & R-types are located in neuronal tissue.

History note

  • 89; RECEPTORS, CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER was heading 1993 (was CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER RECEPTOR (NM) 1983-92); CALCIUM CHANNEL ANTAGONIST RECEPTORS, CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER RECEPTORS & RECEPTORS, CALCIUM CHANNEL ANTAGONIST were see RECEPTORS, CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER 1993
