These results suggest that DmCa\textsubscript{v}3 can be activated more negative potential than Ca\textsubscript{v}3.1 by 4.4 mV.  Taken together, the biophysical properties of DmCa\textsubscript{v}3 including activation threshold of about -60 mV, formation of maximal current amplitude at -20 mV, transient current kinetics, a criss-crossing pattern by currents evoked by a voltage protocol for I-V are very similar to the hallmark properties of native T-type Ca\textsuperscript{2+} channels as well as cloned channels\cite{9495342, 6087159, 9670923, 10066244}.  The activation curves obtained from fitting chord conductance with a Boltzmann equation showed that the potentials (V50,act) (V\textsubscript{50,act})  for half-maximal activation of DmCa\textsubscript{v}3 and Ca\textsubscript{v}3.1 are -43.32 $\pm$ 1.58 and -38.92 $\pm$ 1.15 mV, respectively, indicating that DmCa\textsubscript{v}3 channel activated at 4.4 mV lower test potentials than Ca\textsubscript{v}3.1 (P < $<$  0.05, Student's t-test, n=10 n=11  -- 14) (Fig. 1B). 1b and Table 1).  In steady-state inactivation, the potentials (V\textsubscript{50,inact}) of 50 \% channel availability for DmCav3 and Cav3.1 are estimated to be -58.04 $\pm$ 0.71 and -61.31 $\pm$ 0.70 mV (P $<$ 0.05, Student’s t-test, n=5 –- 15), indicating that the V\textsubscript{50,inact} of DmCa\textsubscript{v}3 is 3.3 mV more positive than that of Ca\textsubscript{v}3.1 (Fig. 1b and Table 1).  In regard to window current typically designated by the portion overlapped in the steady-state inactivation and activation curves, the window region for DmCa\textsubscript{v}3 is significantly larger than that for Ca\textsubscript{v}3.1, implying that DmCa\textsubscript{v}3 is capable of persistently evoking higher channel activity over relevant voltage range than Ca\textsubscript{v}3.1.  Voltage-dependent kinetics are known to different among three mammalian T-type calcium channels7.
