We have investigated the effects of H ions on (L-type) Ca channel current in isolated ventricular cells. We find that the current amplitude is enhanced in solutions that are alkaline relative to pH 7.4 and reduced in solutions acidic to this pH. We measured pH0-induced shifts in channel gating and analyzed our results in terms of surface potential theory. The shifts are well described by changes in surface potential caused by the binding of H ions to negative charges on the cell surface. The theory predicts a pK of 5.8 for this binding. Gating shifts alone cannot explain all of our observations on modulation of current amplitude. Our results suggest that an additional mechanism contributes to modification of the current amplitude.
