Cav3 T‐type calcium channels

Abstract T‐type channels are unique among the voltage‐gated calcium channels in their fast kinetics and low voltages of activation and inactivation, the latter two features allowing them to operate at voltages near the resting membrane potential of most neurons. T‐type channels can therefore be recruited by subthreshold depolarizations, and hyperpolarizations that remove inactivation. As such, T‐type channels can significantly influence how …
