Contribution of Calcium Entry through Non-Voltage Operated Calcium Channels to the Contractile Response of Vascular Smooth Muscle to Agonists
Depletion of Ca2+ stores in the sarcoplasmic reticulum results in the opening of store operated cation channels (SOCCs) on the plasma membrane, allowing Ca2 + influx into the cell and refilling of the stores. The work described in this thesis set out to determine the extent to which Ca2 + entry thro...
