Dear Editor,
Voltage-gated calcium (Cav) channels are essential for mediating Ca2+ influx in response to membrane depolarization. Activation of Cav channels triggers fundamental physiological processes such as muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, hormone secretion, and synaptic integration.1,2 The P/Q-type Cav channels Cav2.1, encoded by CACNA1A and prevalently found in neurons and neuroendocrine cells, play a vital role in the release of neurotransmitters and the regulation of synaptic plasticity and neuronal excitability.3 Cav2.1 presents a potential therapeutic target for treating neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and migraine.4
