Ketamine is a general anesthetic that is used also as an anti-depressant, but its use is associated with cystitis. Here, the authors show that ketamine is an antagonist of the Cav1.2 channel in bladder smooth muscle cells, that ablation of this channel in mice mimics the cystitis induced by ketamine...
