General description

Calcium channel CaV3.3 (α1I) is a low-voltage-activated T-type calcium channel. CaV3.3 (α1I) transcripts are detected in central nervous system as well as thyroid and adrenal glands.

Immunogen

peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 1053-1067 of rat CaV3.3. Homology with other species: human is 14/15 residues identical.

Application

Anti-Calcium Channel CaV3.3 (a1I) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot at a dilution of 1:200 using rat brain membranes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calcium channel CaV3.3 (α1I) is involved in neuronal excitability and is particularly recruited during the depolarizing after-potential. It is responsible for generating sustained electrical activity. Sperm specific proteins CatSper1 and CatSper2 interact with Cav3.3 and suppress Cav3.3-evoked T-type calcium channel activity.

Physical form

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.

T-type Ca2+ channels were originally called low-voltage-activated (LVA) channels because they can be activated by small depolarizations of the plasma membrane. In many neurons Ca2+ influx through LVA channels triggers low-threshold spikes, which in turn triggers a burst of action

Sperm-specific CatSper1 and CatSper2 proteins are critical to sperm-hyperactivated motility and male fertility. Although architecturally resembling voltage-gated ion channels, neither CatSper1 nor CatSper2 alone forms functional ion channels in heterologous expression systems, which may be related to the absence of

In several types of neurons, firing is an intrinsic property produced by specific classes of ion channels. Low-voltage-activated T-type calcium channels (T-channels), which activate with small membrane depolarizations, can generate burst firing and pacemaker activity. Here we have investigated the
