Abstract
Nickel has been proposed to be a selective blocker of low-voltage-activated, T-type calcium channels. However, studies on cloned high-voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels indicated that some subtypes, such as alpha1E, are also blocked by low micromolar concentrations of NiCl(2). There are considerable differences in the sensitivity to Ni(2+) among native T-type currents, leading to the hypothesis that there may be more than one T-type channel. We...
