L-type channels — A class of voltage sensitive calcium channels. L type channels are found in neurons, neuroendocrine cells, smooth, cardiac and striated muscle, are involved in neurotransmitter release at some synapses and inactivate relatively slowly. They are… … Dictionary of molecular biology
Q-type channels — A class of voltage sensitive calcium channels. May be identical or very similar to P type channels. Inhibited by neurotransmitters that act through G protein coupled receptors, high concentrations of w conotoxin and w agatoxin … Dictionary of molecular biology
N-type channels — Lackie A class of voltage sensitive calcium channels. Restricted to neurons and neuroendocrine cells where they are involved in regulation of neurotransmitter or neurohormone release. Require substantial depolarization to become activated and… … Dictionary of molecular biology
P-type channels — A class of voltage sensitive calcium channels. Found in various neurons but particularly in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum (hence the name). Involved in induction of long term depression. Require substantial depolarization to activate and… … Dictionary of molecular biology
T-type channels — A class of voltage sensitive calcium channels that open transiently in response to relatively small depolarizations of the neuronal membrane. May have a role in repetitive firing. No selective inhibitors are known … Dictionary of molecular biology
