Ca(2+) channels in retinal pigment epithelial cells regulate vascular endothelial growth factor secretion rates in health and disease

PURPOSE: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the most severe complication in age-related macular degeneration. The major angiogenic factor involved is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Since RPE cells express neuroendocrine L-type Ca(2+) ch...
