Summary

Mapacalcine was unable to block T-type calcium current in portal vein myocytes as well as voltage-dependent potassium currents and calcium-activated chloride currents in duodenal and portal vein cells and did not affect caffeine-induced calcium responses, indicating that it did not interfere with intracellular calcium stores.
