Abstract

L-type calcium channel activity has been associated with a number of cytoplasmic responses, including gene transcription and activation of calcium-dependent enzymes, yet their direct contribution to the electrical activities of neurons has remained largely unexplored. Here we report the cloning and functional characterization of a molluscan L-type calcium channel homologue, LCa
