What (who) is R-type calcium channel - definition


R-type calcium channel         
PROTEIN FAMILY
CACNA1E; CACNA1E (gene)
The R-type calcium channel is a type of voltage-dependent calcium channel. Like the others of this class, the α1 subunit forms the pore through which calcium enters the cell and determines most of the channel's properties.
Voltage-gated calcium channel         
A PROTEIN COMPLEX THAT FORMS A TRANSMEMBRANE CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH CALCIUM IONS MAY PASS IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES IN MEMBRANE POTENTIAL.
VDCC; Voltage dependent calcium channel; VOCC; Voltage-operated calcium channel; Voltage gated calcium channel; Voltage operated calcium channel; Calcium channels, t-type; Calcium channels, r-type; Calcium channels, q-type; Calcium channels, p-type; Calcium channels, n-type; Voltage-gated calcium channels; Voltage gated calcium channels; Voltage gated ca channel; Voltage-gated ca channel; Voltage-gated Ca2+ channel; R-type voltage gated channel; Voltage-activated calcium channel; Voltage-sensitive calcium channel; Voltage-dependent calcium channels; Voltage-dependent calcium channel
Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), also known as voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g.
T-type calcium channel         
FAMILY OF TRANSPORT PROTEINS
T-type calcium channels
T-type calcium channels are low voltage activated calcium channels that become inactivated during cell membrane hyperpolarization but then open to depolarization. The entry of calcium into various cells has many different physiological responses associated with it.
