    basic FUNCTION
  • calcium voltage-gated channel (VDCC), L (long lasting) type, contributing to the function of the calcium channel by increasing peak calcium current, shifting the voltage dependencies of activation and inactivation, modulating G protein inhibition and controlling the alpha-1 subunit membrane targeting
  • like CACNA1S, interacts directly with RYR1 and is critical for the generation of high-speed Ca(2+) signals coupled to membrane depolarization
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS locomotion
    text coupling of excitation and contraction in the muscle
    PATHWAY

    signaling
    a component
  • CAMK2A forms stable complexes with voltage-gated calcium channel CACNB1 or CACNB2
  • INTERACTION

    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binds RYR1 and participates in this signaling process
