Adrenal chromaffin cells secrete catecholamine in response to acetylcholine. The secretory response has absolute requirement for extracellular calcium, indicating that $Ca^{2+}$ influx through voltage operated $Ca^{2+}$ channels is the primary trigger of the secretion cascade. Although the existence of various types of $Ca^{2+}$ channels has been explored using patch clamp technique in adrenal chromaffin cells, there is still disagreement with the types of $Ca^{2+}$ channels existed in different species. Therefore, we have tried to identify several distinct types of $Ca^{2+}$ channels in rat chromaffin cells. By using nicardipine(L type channel blocker), $omega$-CgTx GVIA(N type channel blocker), and $omega$-AgaTx VIA(P type channel blocker), it was identified that L, N, and P type $Ca^{2+}$ channel exist in rat adrenal chromaffin cells and the order of contribution of each channel type to whole cell $Ca^{2+}$ current was L type> N type> P type. type> P type.
