Altered properties of quantal neurotransmitter release at endplates of mice lacking P/Q-type Ca2+ channels
Transmission at the mouse neuromuscular junction normally relies on P/Q-type channels, but became jointly dependent on both N-and R-type Ca2+ channels when the P/Q-type channel α1A subunit was deleted. R-type channels lay close to Ca2+ sensors for exocytosis and IK(Ca) channel activation, like the P...
