Properties and modulation of cardiac calcium channels.
Voltage-dependent calcium channels are widely distributed in excitable membranes and are involved in the regulation of many cellular functions. These channels can be modulated by neurotransmitters and drugs. There is one particular type of calcium channel in cardiac cells (L-type) whose gating is affected in different ways by beta-adrenoceptor and 1,4-dihydropyridine agonists. We have analysed ...
متن کاملVoltage-Gated Sodium Channels Modulation by Bothutous Schach Scorpion Venom
Buthotus schach is one of the dangers scorpion in Iran that belong to the Buthidae family. Toxins are existing in venom scorpion, modulate the ion channels by blocking or opening the pore of the channel or by altering the voltage gating and useful as pharmacological tools. In the present study, we investigated the effect of venom and its obtained fractions by gel filtrations on electrophysiolog...
متن کاملModulation of L-type calcium channels by sodium ions.
It is universally believed that the removal of external sodium ions is without effect on calcium current. We now report that in enzymatically isolated guinea pig ventricular cells, the replacement of external sodium ions with certain other cations causes a 3- to 6-fold increase in peak L-type calcium current. The increase in current is reversibly blocked by L-type calcium-channel antagonists, n...
متن کاملModulation of single cardiac sodium channels by DPI 201-106.
Single sodium channel currents were analysed in cell attached patches from single ventricular cells of guinea pig hearts in the presence of a novel cardiotonic compound DPI 201-106. The mean single channel conductance of DPI-treated Na channels was not changed by DPI (20.8 +/- 4 pS, control, 3 patches; 21.3 +/- 1 pS with DPI, 5 mumol/1,3 patches). DPI voltage-dependently prolongs the cardiac so...
متن کاملCardiac sodium and calcium channels: a history of excitatory currents.
The entire concept of ion channels as molecular machines to gate ion traffic across the membrane has only recently been generally recognized, even though ion channels are found in almost all cells. Na+ and Ca2+ channels are the basis of excitability, and in the heart they generate the rhythm, coordinating and controlling cardiac contraction. Dysfunction of ion channels results in arrhythmias th...
