Multiple Ca2+-dependent mechanisms regulate L-type Ca2+ current in retinal amacrine cells.
Understanding the regulation of L-type voltage-gated Ca(2+) current is an important component of elucidating the signaling capabilities of retinal amacrine cells. Here we ask how the cytosolic Ca(2+) environment and the balance of Ca(2+)-dependent effectors shape native L-type Ca(2+) channel function in these cells. To achieve this, whole cell voltage clamp recordings were made from cultured am...

متن کاملPersistent Na+ current and Ca2+ current boost graded depolarization of rat retinal amacrine cells in culture.
Retinal amacrine cells are depolarized by the excitatory synaptic input from bipolar cells. When a graded depolarization exceeds the threshold level, trains of action potentials are generated. There have been several reports that both spikes and graded depolarization are sensitive to tetrodotoxin (TTX). In the present study, we investigated the contribution of voltage-gated currents to membrane...
متن کاملL- and T-type Ca2+ channels in canine cardiac Purkinje cells. Single-channel demonstration of L-type Ca2+ window current.
Canine cardiac Purkinje cells contain both L- and T-type calcium currents, yet the single Ca2+ channels have not been characterized from these cells. Additionally, previous studies have shown an overlap between the steady-state inactivation and activations curves for L-type Ca2+ currents, suggesting the presence of L-type Ca2+ "window" current. We used the on-cell, patch-clamp technique to stud...
متن کاملAvailability of low-threshold Ca2+ current in retinal ganglion cells.
Spiking in central neurons depends on the availability of inward and outward currents activated by depolarization and on the activation and priming of currents by hyperpolarization. Of these processes, priming by hyperpolarization is the least described. In the case of T-type Ca2+ current availability, the interplay of hyperpolarization and depolarization has been studied most completely in exp...
