Structures of the R-type human Cav2.3 channel reveal conformational crosstalk of the intracellular segments

Voltage-gated Ca2+ channel subtype Cav2.3 represents a potential drug target for neurological diseases. Here, authors report cryo-EM structures of Cav2.3 and its mutant to reveal the crosstalk of intracellular segments, which may facilitate future drug discovery.
