The Q-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.They are poorly understood but like R-type calcium channels they appear to be present in cerebellar granule cells. They have a high threshold of activation and relatively slow kinetics.
