N-type calcium channels are voltage gated calcium channels that are distributed throughout the entire body. These channels are high voltage activated channels that are composed of alpha-1B subunits. The alpha subunit forms the pore through which the calcium enters and determines most of the channel properties. The alpha subunit is also known as the calcium channel, voltage dependent, N type, alpha 1 subunit (CANCA1B), or Cav2.29(which is used in therapeutic processes), which is humans encoded by the CANCA1B gene.[1] They also contain associated subunits such as B1, B3, B4, α2δ, and possibly Y.These channels are known for their importance in the nervous system. They have a role in the migration of immature neurons before the establishment of their synaptic neuron, and they are critically involved in the release of neurotransmitters, which is also similar to the P-type channels. N-type calcium channels are also targets for the development of drugs to relieve chronic and neuropathic pain. They are also used for the treatment of Hypertension, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Osteoarthritis, and other medical diagnosis.N-type calcium channels function differently in the development of the hippocampal neurons by being that they don’t contribute until the later developmental stages of the hippocampal.These channels also have functions within the Kidney and the Heart. There are many N-type calcium channel blockers, but the main blocker is w-Conotoxins. These blockers can interfere with many therapeutic processes.[2]
