Abstract: Differentially expressed L-type calcium channel nucleic acid sequences and polypeptides have been identified that include novel sequences that are differentially expressed in non-excitable cells. Such sequences can be used, for example, as targets for identifying agents that modulate calcium influx, e.g., in non-excitable cells. Methods related to modulation of cell growth are also included.
