I am interested in looking at the differences between invertebrate (particuarly 
insect) and vertebrate calcium channels in terms of ancestry. Basically, the 
struggle to peg invertebrate calcium channels into the same holes as vertebrate 
calcium channels is not easy nor I would say fruitful. I've a gross lack of 
references on the subject of ancestral ion channels which I would like to 
explore as a link from invertebrate to vertebrate. Possibly this has been 
discussed with the sodium channel? I would appreciate some direction or 
thought.
