"The activation of these proteins leads to altered cell behaviour. Increased calcium within cells results in increased damaging oxygen free radical production by mitochondria. Abnormal mitochondrial function is associated with autism. Palmieri et al confirmed the importance of these associations in a study of several patients with autism.

L-type calcium channels (LTCC) are voltage-gated calcium channels that are found in

1. The central nervous system - LTCC are important in the regulation of nerve cell development.

2. The immune system - LTCC are important in the function of white cells including regulatory T-cells TREGS which control immune system activity

3. Gastro-intestinal tract - LTCC are related to activity and inflammation of the stomach, intestines and pancreas."
