The following tables explain gating, gene, location and function of different types of calcium channels, both voltage and ligand-gated.

Ligand-gated

  • the receptor-operated calcium channels (in vasoconstriction)
  • P2X receptors

    • Pharmacology

    L-type calcium channel blockers are used to treat hypertension.
