Characterization of the +SSTR and ΔSSTR splice variants of the Cav2.1 P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel

Cav2.1 P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels are essential for neurotransmission in many regions of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Alternative splicing generates functional diversity between Cav2.1 splice isoforms and is thought to be a mechanism by which fine-tuning and complexity of...
