All L-type calcium channels are encoded by one of the CaV1 channel genes. These channels play a major role as a Ca2+ entry pathway in skeletal cardiac and smooth muscles as well as in neurons, endocrine cells and possibly in non-excitable cells such as hematopoetic and epithelial cells. All CaV1 channels are influenced by dihydropyridines (DHP) and are also referred to as DHP receptors. While the CaV1.1 and CaV1.4 isoforms are expressed in restricted tissues (skeletal muscle and retina, respectively), the expression of CaV1.2 is ubiquitous.1,2
The CaV1.3 channels are also expressed, as are other L-type channels, in neurons and neuroendocrine cells. However, accumulated data has shown the expression of CaV1.3 in heart and suggests that it plays a major role in the generation of cardiac pacemaker activity.3,4
Several peptidyl toxins have been described that are specific L-type channel blockers. These include the Mamba toxins Calcicludine (#SPC-650), Calciseptine (#C-500) and FS-2 (#F-700). So far no selective blocker for one of the CaV1 isoforms has been described.

Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody (#ACC-005) is a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of the rat protein. The antibody can be used in western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry applications. It has been designed to recognize CaV1.3 from mouse, rat, and human samples.

CaV1.3 immunoreactivity (green) is detected in major retinal layers (upper panel). CaV1.3 is not detected in CaV1.3-/- mice.Adapted from Shi, L. et al. (2017) Front. Cell.

- Expression of CaV1.3 in DA neurons from SNc and VTA.Immunohistochemical staining of rat brain sections using Anti-CaV1.2 (CACNA1C) Antibody (#ACC-003) or Anti-CaV1.3 (CACNA1D) Antibody (#ACC-005), shows that CaV1.3 channel (green) is detected in SNc and VTA regions while little or no CaV1.2 is expressed. CaV1.3 co-localizes with TH (red) in the soma as well as in the proximal dendrites of SNc and VTA DA neurons.
