Catalysis of facilitated diffusion of a calcium ion (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism. Catalysis of the energy-independent passage of cations across a lipid bilayer down a concentration gradient. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a voltage-gated channel. Catalysis of the transfer of metal ions from one side of a membrane to the other. null A ligand-gated ion channel activity which transports calcium in response to emptying of intracellular calcium stores. Catalysis of facilitated diffusion of an ion (by an energy-independent process) by passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of a calcium ion by a channel that opens in response to a mechanical stress in the form of stretching.
