Regulation of Maximal Open Probability Is a Separable Function of Cavβ Subunit in L-type Ca2+ Channel, Dependent on NH2 Terminus of α1C (Cav1.2α)

β subunits (Cavβ) increase macroscopic currents of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCC) by increasing surface expression and modulating their gating, causing a leftward shift in conductance–voltage (G-V) curve and increasing the maximal open probability, Po,max. In L-type Cav1.2 channels, the Cavβ...
