Abstract:primary cultures of rat superior cervical ganglia (SCG) neurons. The goal is to understand the discernible differences in regulation of trafficking between CaV2 subtypes (CaV2.1, CaV2.2, CaV2.3). Recombinant cDNA of subtypedefining a1 subunit is injected intranuclearly into dissociated SCG neurons. CaV2 membrane expression is evaluated in whole cell patch clamp recordings. We have found that recombinant CaV2.1 and CaV2.3 expression increases current density above uninjected levels, suggesting these subtypes ha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
