Does not support clinical translation; extends animal characterization of HVA Ca currents, hypothesis-generating for future studies.
This study characterizes the pharmacological and kinetic properties of HVA calcium channels in cat chromaffin cells, highlighting their modulation by dihydropyridines, omega-conotoxin, and G-proteins.
Albillos et al. (1994) studied this question. Dihydropyridine derivatives (Nisoldipine, Bay K 8644) and omega-conotoxin GVIA vs. Control currents was evaluated on High-voltage-activated (HVA) Ca2+ channel currents. In cat chromaffin cells, high-voltage-activated calcium currents were sensitive to dihydropyridine derivatives and omega-conotoxin GVIA, exhibiting distinct kinetic and pharmacological properties.
