The T-type calcium channel is a type of voltage-dependent calcium channel. Like the others of this class, the α1 subunit is the one that determines most of the channel's properties.

Along with sodium "funny current," the T-type calcium channel produces the pacemaker potential in the SA node of the heart.

T-type calcium channel blockers are used primarily as antiepileptics.
