high voltage-gated calcium channel activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Enables the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a high voltage-gated channel. A high voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on high voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729, PMID:16382099]

High voltage-gated calcium channel activity refers to the specific molecular function of a protein that acts as a calcium channel, opening in response to changes in membrane potential, particularly to depolarization. This function is critical for various cellular processes, including:

* **Neurotransmission:** In neurons, high voltage-gated calcium channels are responsible for triggering the release of neurotransmitters from presynaptic terminals. When an action potential reaches the synapse, it depolarizes the presynaptic membrane, opening these channels. The influx of calcium ions triggers the fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
* **Muscle contraction:** In muscle cells, high voltage-gated calcium channels play a key role in initiating muscle contraction. Depolarization of the muscle membrane opens these channels, allowing calcium ions to enter the cell. This calcium influx triggers the release of calcium from intracellular stores, leading to the interaction of actin and myosin filaments, resulting in muscle contraction.
* **Hormone secretion:** In endocrine cells, high voltage-gated calcium channels are involved in the release of hormones. Depolarization of the cell membrane opens these channels, leading to an influx of calcium ions. This calcium signal initiates the exocytosis of hormone-containing vesicles.
* **Gene expression:** In some cells, calcium influx through high voltage-gated calcium channels can also influence gene expression, contributing to a range of cellular processes.

These channels are typically composed of multiple protein subunits, including alpha1, alpha2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits. The alpha1 subunit contains the pore and voltage sensor domains, while the other subunits contribute to channel assembly, regulation, and trafficking.

The precise characteristics of high voltage-gated calcium channel activity, such as the voltage threshold for activation, the rate of inactivation, and the calcium permeability, are influenced by specific channel subtypes and their associated regulatory proteins. These differences allow for fine-tuning of calcium influx in different cell types and in response to specific stimuli.'
