Preferred Label : calcium channels, L-Type;
MeSH definition : Long-lasting voltage-gated CALCIUM CHANNELS found in both excitable and nonexcitable
tissue. They are responsible for normal myocardial and vascular smooth muscle contractility.
Five subunits (alpha-1, alpha-2, beta, gamma, and delta) make up the L-type channel.
The alpha-1 subunit is the binding site for calcium-based antagonists. Dihydropyridine-based
calcium antagonists are used as markers for these binding sites.; Long-lasting voltage-gated CALCIUM CHANNELS found in both excitable and non-excitable
tissue. They are responsible for normal myocardial and vascular smooth muscle contractility.
