Abstract
Different types of Ca2+ channels have been identified in neuronal soma . P-type Ca2+ channels resistant to the blocking effect of dihydropyri dines and omega-conotoxin-GVIA but sensitive to the funnel web spider toxin and omega-agatoxin-IVA mediate the influx of Ca2+ involved in tr ansmitter release in mammalian synapses.
