= Q-type calcium channel
{wiki=Q-type_calcium_channel}
Q-type calcium channels are a specific class of voltage-gated calcium channels that play a significant role in mediating the influx of calcium ions (Ca²⁺) into cells in response to membrane depolarization. They are primarily found in neurons and certain types of muscle cells and are integral to various physiological processes, including neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, and the generation of electrical signals.
