thread_title: References

message: I've found a bunch of sources that say there are six subtypes (L, N, P, Q, R, and T), and one source * that says there are seven, but does not list them!  Does anyone know what this missing subtype is?  Thanks much, delldot | talk 18:34, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There are only five actually: L, T, N, P/Q, and R. Of course, there are 4 L-type channels and three T-type channels for a total of 10 channels total. At least, this is how many α-1 subunits there are. See Hille's book, any review, or: http://www.neuro.wustl.edu/neuromuscular/mother/chan.html#ca for examples. -Dpryan 06:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

text: One gene->two channels. Q is an alternatively spliced form of P...so kind of one channel and kind of two, depending on how you define things. --Dpryan 19:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The missing subtype?

message: Ideally, the clasifications of the channel subtypes on this page should be reorganized to reflect the functional differences.  Unfortunatly, there hasn't been a review article writen about the functional differences that reflects the new (e.g. 1.1.3, etc) classification scheme. (source: pubmed search on 5/9/07)  I don't think we can really fix this page until the literature sorts itself out.  Too bad for people like me who are trying to learn it!

message: How about voltage-activated calcium channel as a redirect to here? Allens (talk) 01:53, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: seems reasonable  - the term is used quite widely in the literature, the term voltage-operated is also used  and perhaps should be included as a redirect.Adh (talk) 19:36, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Voltage-activated calcium channel as redirect? 

message: I think this section isnt quite right here - it focuses largely on L-type channels (for which there is a separate page) and perhaps digresses too much into excitation contraction coupling in smooth muscle. If there are no objections I will transfer the material to the L-type page at some point  Adh (talk) 19:39, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

message: This article repeatedly mentions high- and low-voltage, but never mentions any numbers associated and/or relative amounts . . . or, am missing something? --Thorwald (talk) 22:56, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Voltage-dependent calcium channel. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add  after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20110713204304/http://biosupport.licor.com/docs/2005/BJ20050237.pdf to http://biosupport.licor.com/docs/2005/BJ20050237.pdf
* Hi, non Wikipedia user here. I found that the link for the study listed here is a broken link, but the full text can be read here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1180727/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:35BA:23D0:8993:D5F8:FDB5:A650 (talk) 00:53, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Choice of name

message: There has been ongoing debate for years over the possible effects of wireless device radiation on the human biology. At least one researcher has suggested that EMFs may impact the body via VGCCs, see Electromagnetic fields act via activation of voltage-gated calcium channels to produce beneficial or adverse effects. I'd be interested to have someone with more scientific experience than I review the linked journal article and determine whether any of the research warrants inclusion in this article. — SimonEast (talk) 05:56, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
