Functional properties of a rabbit cardiac α1Ca2+channel subunit (CARDα1) were investigated using the patch‐clamp technique in mouse L cells, a recipient cell line which is devoid of any Ca2+channel subunits. Cell lines resulting from stable transfection of the CARDα1subunit as well as in coexpression with a β subunit (cardα1β) derived from skeletal muscle (SKMβ) were characterized. The results show that while the CARDα1‐Ca2+channel activity is negligible, the Ba2+current density is dramatically increased in the presence of β subunit (2̃0‐fold). CARDα1‐ and CARDα1β‐Ba2+currents were both sensitive to the 1,4‐dihydropyridine (DHP) agonist, Bay K 8644 (5‐ to 8‐fold increase). Activation kinetics of CARDα1‐ and CARDα1β‐Ba2+currents were comparable. The inactivation time‐course was faster (3‐ to 4‐fold) for CARDα1β)‐Ba2+currents. We conclude that the main role of the β subunit in heart is to modulate the L‐type current density and present several lines of evidence that SKMα1and CARDα1are differentially regulated by the β subunit.
