Voltage-gated Ca 2+(Ca v) channels regulate a variety of biological processes, such as muscle contraction, gene expression, and neurotransmitter release. Ca v channels are subject to diverse forms of regulation, including those involving the Ca 2+ ions that permeate the pore. High voltage-activated Ca v channels undergo Ca 2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) and facilitation (CDF), which can regulate processes such as cardiac rhythm and synaptic plasticity. CDI and CDF differ slightly between Ca v 1 (L-type) and Ca v 2 (P/Q-, N-, and R-type) channels. Human embryonic kidney cells transformed with SV40 large T-antigen (HEK-293T) are advantageous for studying CDI and CDF of a particular type of Ca v channel. HEK-293T cells do not express endogenous Ca v channels, but Ca v channels can be expressed exogenously at high levels in these cells by transient transfection. This protocol describes how to characterize and analyze Ca 2+-dependent modulation of recombinant Ca v channels in HEK-293T cells.
