Ca2+/Calcineurin-Dependent Inactivation of Neuronal L-Type Ca2+ Channels Requires Priming by AKAP-Anchored Protein Kinase A

Within neurons, Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) of voltage-gated L-type Ca2+ channels shapes cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals. CDI is initiated by Ca2+ binding to channel-associated calmodulin and subsequent Ca2+/calmodulin activation of the Ca2+-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin (CaN), which is targeted...
