PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • four domains of homology
  • each with six alpha helical membrane spanning segments including several isoforms (CAV31C)
    • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • calcium channel alpha-1 subunit family
    • CATEGORY transport channel
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • calcium low activated (LVA) voltage-gated channel, T (fast inactivation, small conductance) type
  • producing large and transient currents
  • KCNC2, CACNA1G regulate thalamic relay neuron sensory transmission and each channel subtype controls a different stimulus-response curve property

    protein
  • inhibited by G protein beta2gamma2 subunit
  • CACNA1G, CACNA1H are substrates for EHD3-dependent protein trafficking in heart, implicating EHD3 as a key player in the regulation of atrial myocyte excitability and cardiac conduction
