Abstract	Voltage-dependent calcium channels couple electrical signals to cellular responses in excitable cells. Calcium channels are crucial for excitation–secretion coupling in neurons and endocrine cells, and excitation–contraction coupling in muscle. Several pharmacologically and kinetically distinct calcium channel types have been identified at the electrophysiological and molecular levels. This review summarizes the basic properties of voltage-dependent calcium channels, including mechanisms of ion permeation and block, gating kinetics, and modulation by G proteins and second messengers.
