Not exact matches
Absence seizures are believed to be elicited
by T - type
calcium channels in the thalamic reticular nucleus of the brain that regulate
influxes of
calcium.
In contrast, CX546 increases nerve cell activity and
calcium influx into nerve cells
by enhancing the activity of proteins called AMPA (α - amino -3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) receptors.
Arterial tone is regulated in large part
by the
influx of
calcium through voltage-gated
calcium (CaV channels, which are found in the membranes of excitable cells throughout the body.
When these cells are illuminated
by a strong light, a change in the structure of melanopsin triggers a molecular cascade that eventually leads to an
influx of
calcium ions into those neurons and an electrical pulse.
