The direct electrophysiological characterization of sperm Ca 2Ο© channels has been precluded by their small size and flat shape. An alternative to study these channels is to use spermatogenic cells, the progenitors of sperm, which are larger and easier to patch-clamp. In mouse and rat, the only volta

Single-channel currents were recorded from two classes of Ca2+ channels in visceral smooth muscle cells isolated from the stomach of the toad, Bufo marinus: a class of small-conductance channels (approximately 11 pS) and a class of large-conductance channels (approximately 26 pS). Small-conductance
Participation of two types of Ca2+ channels (T-and L-types) in the sustained increase of cytosolic-free Ca2 concentration ([Ca2+li) was studied in thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TKH)-stimulated clonal GH, pituitary cells. The effects of Ca2+ channel blockers were analyzed by measuring Ca' ' channel
