Zinc 143-147 immunoglobulin lambda variable 7-43 Homo sapiens 202-210 22131323-3 2011 Divalent cations Zn(2+), Cu(2+) and Ni(2+) inhibit Ca(V)3.2 channels more efficiently than Ca(V)3.1 and Ca(V)3.3 channels via second high-affinity binding site including histidine H191 specific for the Ca(V)3.2 channel.
