Primary structure and functional expression of a high voltage activated calcium channel from rabbit lung.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete amino acid sequence of the receptor for organic calcium channel blockers (CaCB) from rabbit lung has been deduced by cloning and sequence analysis of the cDNA. Synthetic RNA derived from this cDNA induces the formation of a functional CaCB-sensitive high voltage activated calcium channel in Xenopus oocytes.

Calcium channel beta subunit heterogeneity: functional expression of cloned cDNA from heart, aorta and brain.
Complementary DNAs encoding three novel and distinct beta subunits (CaB2a, CaB2b and CaB3) of the high voltage activated (L-type) calcium channel have been isolated from rabbit heart. Their deduced amino acid sequence is homologous to the beta subunit originally cloned from skeletal muscle (CaB1). CaB2a and CaB2b are splicing products of a common primary transcript (CaB2). Northern analysis and...
متن کاملFunctional properties of cardiac L-type calcium channels transiently expressed in HEK293 cells. Roles of alpha 1 and beta subunits
The cardiac dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel was transiently expressed in HEK293 cells by transfecting the rabbit cardiac calcium channel alpha 1 subunit (alpha 1C) alone or in combination with the rabbit calcium channel beta subunit cloned from skeletal muscle. Transfection with alpha 1C alone leads to the expression of inward, voltage-activated, calcium or barium currents that exhibi...
متن کاملImmunological Properties Carcinoma Cell Lines: Pharmacological, Functional, and Voltage-operated Calcium Channels in Small Cell Lung
Different subtypes of voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCCs) are expressed in different tissues and can be distinguished by functional and pharmacological criteria. One type of high voltage-activated calcium channel, specifically recognized by the peptide neurotoxin u-conotoxin (wCTx), is expressed only in neurons. Seven different human small cell lung carcinoma (SCC) cell lines were also fo...
متن کاملMolecular and functional characterization of a murine calcium-activated chloride channel expressed in smooth muscle.
To identify the gene products responsible for the calcium-activated chloride current in smooth muscle, reverse transcription-PCR with degenerate primers was performed on mouse intestine and other organs. A new member of the CLCA gene family was identified, mCLCA4, that is expressed preferentially in organs containing a high percentage of smooth muscle cells, including intestine, stomach, uterus...
متن کاملIon channel gene expression in human lung, skin, and cord blood-derived mast cells.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-dependent activation of human mast cells (HMC) is characterized by an influx of extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)), which is essential for subsequent release of preformed (granule-derived) mediators and newly generated autacoids and cytokines. In addition, flow of ions such as K(+) and Cl(-) is likely to play an important role in mast cell activation, proliferation, and chemo...
