Abstract
A cDNA encoding a N‐type Ca2+ channel has been cloned from the murine neuroblastoma cell line N1A103. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 2,289 amino acids (257 kDa). Analysis of different clones provided evidence for the existence of distinct isoforms of N‐type channels. High levels of mRNA were found in the pyramidal cell layers CA1, CA2 and CA3 of the hippocampus, in the dentate gyrus, in the cortex layers 2 and 4, in the subiculum and the habenula. The N‐type Ca2+ channel gene has been localized on the chromosome 2, band A.Keywords
