protein	CACNA1C targeting to BIN1 is functionally important to cardiac calcium signaling
	AKAP7 interacts with neuronal CACNA1C via their C terminus
	serine 1884 is essential for the regulation of CACNA1C by PRKD1
	interaction between LDB3 and CACNA1C, that facilitated PRKA-mediated phosphorylation of the CACNA1C at Ser1928
	ADRA1B contraction of vascular smooth muscle involves activation of PLD1, which controls a portion of the ADRA1B-induced CACNA1C channel activity
	expression of CACNA1C mRNA was rhythmic (peaking during the late night) and regulated by the circadian clock component NR1D1
	HAP1 is important for insulin secretion of pancreatic beta-cells via regulating the intracellular trafficking and plasma membrane localization of CACNA1C, providing new insight into the mechanisms that regulate insulin release from pancreatic beta cells
