    basic FUNCTION
  • may be regulating A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium
  • involved in gene regulation
  • direct regulator of the cardiac L-type Ca2+ current, multimodal regulator of cardiac ionic currents
  • can attenuate cardiac hypertrophy possibly through modulation of intracellular calcium concentration and calcineurin/NFAT pathway
