Effect of Ca(v)beta subunits on structural organization of Ca(v)1.2 calcium channels.

<h4>Background</h4>Voltage-gated Ca(v)1.2 calcium channels play a crucial role in Ca(2+) signaling. The pore-forming alpha(1C) subunit is regulated by accessory Ca(v)beta subunits, cytoplasmic proteins of various size encoded by four different genes (Ca(v)beta(1)-beta(4)) and expressed i...
