 P-type calcium channel

P-type calcium channels are a specific type of voltage-gated calcium channel, which are integral membrane proteins that allow calcium ions (Ca²⁺) to enter cells in response to changes in membrane potential. They are characterized by their specific properties and roles in various physiological processes. ### Key Characteristics of P-Type Calcium Channels: 1. **Subtypes**: P-type calcium channels are primarily associated with the Cav2.1 (also known as CaV2.1) subtype.
