Inactivation of CaV2.2 currents in sympathetic neurons is indistinguishable in Δ18a-only and +18a-only mice. A, Averaged, normalized, steady-state inactivation curves generated from sympathetic neurons from Δ18a-only and +18a-only mice. Recordings were performed in the presence of ω-agatoxin IVA (50 nM), and isradipine (10 μM) to block CaV2.1 and CaV1 currents, respectively. CaV2.2 currents were inactivated by 3-s prepulses to different membrane voltages (between -90 and + 20 mV in 10-mV increments) and then currents evoked by 25-ms test pulses to 20 mV to measure CaV2.2 channel availability. Curves were fit by Boltzmann functions and V1/2 values estimated. B, V1/2 values from individual cells (open symbols), mean (filled symbol), median (horizontal line), 25th-75th interquartile range (box), and whiskers (range). Mean (median) values ± SE in mV were for Δ18a-only: -22.5 (-26.1) ± 4.3, and e18a-only mice: -20.1 (-22.7) ± 4.5.
