Methsuximide Description
Methsuximide is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an anticonvlisant medication. It is sold by Pfizer under the name Petinutin. [Wikipedia]Binds to T-type voltage sensitive calcium channels. Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1G gives rise to T-type calcium currents. T-type calcium channels belong to the “low-voltage activated (LVA)” group and are strongly blocked by mibefradil. A particliarity of this type of channels is an opening at quite negative potentials and a voltage-dependent inactivation. T-type channels serve pacemaking functions in both central neurons and cardiac nodal cells and support calcium signaling in secretory cells and vascliar smooth muscle. They may also be involved in the modliation of firing patterns of neurons which is important for information processing as well as in cell growth processes. Structure
