| Name: | vestibulospinal neuron |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | V |
| Definition: | CNS interneuron with a soma located in a cluster in the lateral wall of the medulla, with dendrites confined to the neuropil, that has connections to the vestibular and lateral line neurons. |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0005866] |
| Name: | voltage-gated calcium channel activity |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | depolarization-activated calcium channel, depolarization-activated voltage gated calcium channel activity, depolarization-activated voltage-gated calcium channel, depolarization-activated voltage-gated calcium channel activity, dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel activity, voltage gated calcium channel activity, voltage-dependent calcium channel activity, voltage-gated calcium ion channel activity, voltage-sensitive calcium channel |
| Definition: | Enables the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. |
