Calmodulin- and Ca2+-Dependent Facilitation and Inactivation of the CaV 1.2 Ca2+ Channels in Guinea-Pig Ventricular Myocytes

The L-type Ca2+ channel (Ca V 1.2) shows clear Ca2+-dependent facilitation and inactivation. Here we have examined the effects of calmodulin (CaM) and Ca2+ on Ca2+ channel in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes in the inside-out patch mode, where rundown of the channels was controlled. At a free [Ca2+]...
