We used the patch‐clamp technique and RT‐PCR to study the molecular and functional expression of VOCCs in undifferentiated hMSCs and in cells undergoing osteogenic differentiation. L‐type Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine did not influence alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium, and phosphate accumulation of hMSCs during osteogenic differentiation. This study suggests that osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs does not require L‐type Ca2+ channel function.
