Ca(v)2.3 calcium channels play an important role in pain transmission in peripheral sensory neurons. Six Ca(v)2.3 isoforms resulting from different combinations of three inserts (inserts I and II in the II-III loop and insert III in the carboxyl-terminal region) have been identified in different mammalian tissues. To date, however, Ca(v)2.3 isoforms unique to primary sensory neurons have not been identified. In this study, we determined Ca(v)2.3 isoforms expressed in the rat trigeminal ganglion ...[more]
