Voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channels are the major pathway of Ca²⁺ entry into the cells. Their activity is essential to couple electrical signals from the cell surface to physiological events in cells. Several pharmacologically, structurally and kinetically distinct calcium channel types have been identified at the electrophysiological and molecular levels. This review aims to describe the functional, structural and pharmacological properties of voltage-gated calcium channels.
Key words: voltage-dependent Ca²⁺ channels – types of calcium channel proteins – electrophysiology – terminology – subunits
