| Name: | high voltage-gated calcium channel activity |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | high voltage gated calcium channel activity, high voltage-dependent calcium channel activity, L-type calcium channel, N-type calcium channel, P-type calcium channel, Q-type calcium channel |
| Definition: | Enables the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a high voltage-gated channel. A high voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on high voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. |
