Biochem/physiol Actions

Cav1.3 also known as the calcium channel, voltage-dependent, L type, α1D subunit (CACNA1D), is a human gene. It responds more sensitively to depolarization than those of Cav1.2 or Cav3.1. Cav1.3 is required for proper hearing as well as sinoatrial node and brain function. It undergoes extensive alternative splicing. Alternative splicing in the C terminus and drastically modifies gating properties of the channel. The L-type calcium channel Cav1.3 is important in human glucose-induced insulin secretion and common variants in CACNA1D may contribute to type 2 diabetes.

Physical form

The transcripts of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (CaV) 1.3 undergo extensive alternative splicing. Alternative splicing, particularly in the C terminus, drastically modifies gating properties of the channel. However, little is known about whether alternative splicing could modulate the pharmacologic properties

Activity of voltage-gated Cav1.3 L-type Ca(2+) channels is required for proper hearing as well as sinoatrial node and brain function. This critically depends on their negative activation voltage range, which is further fine-tuned by alternative splicing. Shorter variants miss a

Aberrant calcium regulation has been implicated as a causative factor in the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in numerous injury models of optic neuropathy. Since calcium has dual roles in maintaining homeostasis and triggering apoptotic pathways in healthy and
