Deskripsi
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are thought to contribute to neurodegeneration of dopaminergic neurons. Here the authors find that the R-type channel Cav2.3 in substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons may contribute to neurodegeneration in a model of Parkinson’s disease, in contrast to the neuroprotective action of the neuronal Ca2+ sensor NCS-1.
