Tree Number(s): D12.776.157.530.400.150; D12.776.543.550.450.150; D12.776.543.585.400.150
Unique ID: D015220
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015220
Annotation: 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.
