Table 2 Steady state inactivation properties of CaV2.1/β4 or CaV2.1/β4/α2δ2 with or without γ2 or γ4

From: Human neuronal stargazin-like proteins, γ2, γ3 and γ4; an investigation of their specific localization in human brain and their influence on CaV2.1 voltage-dependent calcium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes.

  1. Steady-state inactivation data from Figures 7C, 7D and 7E were fitted with a single Boltzmann function (see methods). Values are expressed as mean ± S. E. M. of the number of replicates, n. In the presence of an α2δ2 subunit, neither γ2 nor γ4 caused statistically significant modulation of the measured parameters according to an un-paired Student's t-test (P < 0.05 was considered significant). Equally, when the α2δ2 subunit was omitted from the injection mixture, ANOVA determined no statistically significant changes in any pairs of data differing by the presence of a γ protein.
