Gene Information

General description

CACNA2D1 (calcium channel, voltage-dependent, α2/δ subunit 1) is a member of a family of GPI-anchored voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs)-associated subunits called α2δ. VGCC are composed of three types of subunits- pore-forming α1 and auxiliary β and α2δ subunits.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-15 of α2 subunit (amino acids 27-41 of rabbit α2/δ−1 precursor).

Application

Anti-Calcium Channel (α2/δ-1 Subunit) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CACNA2D1 (calcium channel, voltage-dependent, α2/δsubunit 1) is a type of α2δs, which are involved in the synaptic neurotransmitter release as they are concentrated at the synapses. They have a chaperone-like activity in non-neuronal cells. This protein acts as a target for gabapentin, which is a neuropathic analgesic. Mutations in this gene, in humans result in short QT syndrome (SQTS).

Target description

L-type of Voltage-gated Ca2+ Channel.

Physical form

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.05% sodium azide.

Preparation Note

Reconstitute the 0.05 mL vial with 50 μL deionized water. Reconstitute the 0.2 mL vial with 0.2 mL deionized water. After reconstitution, the antibody concentration is ~0.8 mg/mL.

In the mammalian brain, presynaptic CaV 2 channels play a pivotal role in synaptic transmission by mediating fast neurotransmitter exocytosis via influx of Ca2+ into the active zone of presynaptic terminals. However, the distribution and modulation of CaV 2.2 channels

Mirogabalin ([(1R,5S,6S)-6-(aminomethyl)-3-ethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-3-en-6-yl]acetic acid), a novel ligand for the α2δ subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, is being developed to treat pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro binding characteristics and

Synaptic neurotransmitter release is driven by Ca(2+) influx through active zone voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). Control of active zone VGCC abundance and function remains poorly understood. Here we show that a trafficking step probably sets synaptic VGCC levels in rats

Chronic use of μ-opioid receptor agonists paradoxically causes both hyperalgesia and the loss of analgesic efficacy. Opioid treatment increases presynaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activity to potentiate nociceptive input to spinal dorsal horn neurons. However, the mechanism responsible for this opioid-induced activation
