Small-molecule CaV{alpha}1⋅CaV{beta} antagonist suppresses neuronal voltage-gated calcium-channel trafficking [Biochemistry]

Extracellular calcium flow through neuronal voltage-gated CaV2.2 calcium channels converts action potential-encoded information to the release of pronociceptive neurotransmitters in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, culminating in excitation of the postsynaptic central nociceptive neurons. The CaV2.2 channel is composed of a pore-forming α1 subunit (CaVα1) that is engaged...
