Voltage-gated calcium channels are membrane proteins crucial for cellular signalling. Found mainly in nerve, heart, and muscle cells, they respond to changes in membrane potential, regulating calcium ion influx.

They vary in composition, with high and low voltage-activated channels. Their diverse subunits play key roles in channel formation and cellular function.
