• Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels• Voltage-gated calcium channels are heteromultimers
composed of an α1 subunit and three auxiliary subunits, 2-δ, β and γ. The α1 subunit forms the ion pore and possesses gating functions and, in some cases, drug binding sites. Ten α1 subunits have been identified, which, in turn, are associated with the activities of the six classes of calcium channels. L-type channels have α1C (cardiac), α1D (neuronal/endocrine), α1S (skeletal muscle), and α1F (retinal) subunits; The α1 subunits each have four homologous domains (I-IV) that are composed of six transmembrane helices. The fourth transmembrane helix of each domain contains the voltage-sensing function. The four α1domains cluster in the membrane to form the ion pore. The β-subunit is localized intracellularly and is involved in the membrane trafficking of α1subunits. The γ-subunit is a glycoprotein having four transmembrane segments. The α2 subunit is a highly glycosylated extracellular protein that is attached to the membrane-spanning d-subunit by means of disulfide bonds. The α2-domain provides structural support required for channel stimulation, while the δ domain modulates the voltage-dependent activation and steady-state inactivation of the channel.

• Activation and Inactivation Of The Sodium Channel • Sodium channels are characterized by voltage-
dependent activation, rapid inactivation, and selective ion conductance. Depolarization of the cell membrane opens the ion pore allowing sodium to passively enter the cell down its concentration gradient . The increase in sodium conductance further depolarizes the membrane to near the sodium equilibrium potential. Inactivation of the sodium channel occurs within milliseconds, initiating a brief refractory period during which the membrane is not excitable. The mechanism of inactivation has been modeled as a "hinged lid" or "ball and chain", where the intracellular loop connecting domains III and IV of the a subunit closes the pore and prevents passage of sodium ions.
