Abstract
Voltage-dependent Ca channels help regulate a wide range of cellular func tions, including secretion, contraction, and excitability (56, 61, 73, 123). The diversity of Ca channels has long been clear, especially from comparative studies on invertebrates (see 55), which have included descriptions of multi ple Ca channel types in single cells (57). This article summarizes a recent wave of papers describing multiple Ca channel types in vertebrate cells. Space limitations prevent inclusion of recent work on invertebrate Ca channels, receptor-operated Ca channels, or Ca channels of organelles.
