Voltage Gated Calcium Channel Antibody Test

The Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel (VGCC) Antibody Test detects antibodies that target calcium channels in nerve endings, which can disrupt neurotransmission. These autoantibodies are associated with neurological and neuromuscular disorders such as Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and paraneoplastic syndromes. This test supports diagnosis, clinical classification, and monitoring of autoimmune channelopathies affecting nerve–muscle communication.
