A Genetic Screen for Dihydropyridine (DHP)-Resistant Worms Reveals New Residues Required for DHP-Blockage of Mammalian Calcium Channels

Dihydropyridines (DHPs) are L-type calcium channel (Ca(v)1) blockers prescribed to treat several diseases including hypertension. Ca(v)1 channels normally exist in three states: a resting closed state, an open state that is triggered by membrane depolarization, followed by a non-conducting inactivat...
