name: voltage-gated calcium channel protein
def: "A voltage-gated ion channel protein that has voltage-gated calcium channel activity. A voltage-gated calcium channel enables the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded." [PRO:XQ, GO:0005245]
