General description

The gene CACNB1 (Calcium channel voltage-dependent subunit β 1) is mapped to human chromosome 17q11.2-q22.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide derived from the rat β1 calcium channel conjugated to KLH.

Application

Anti-Calcium Channel (β1 subunit) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot at a concentration of 5-10 μg/mL using rat brain tissue lysate

Biochem/physiol Actions

The CACNB1 (Calcium channel voltage-dependent subunit β 1) is an intracellular regulatory subunit of voltage-activated calcium channels that has significant impact on membrane expression and electrophysical characteristics of the channel. Calcium channel β subunits regulate voltage-dependent calcium currents through direct interaction with α1 subunits. CACNB1 is a target of miRNA-328. In mouse model, CACNB1 is involved in gene expression in muscle progenitor cells and regulates skeletal muscle mass during embryonic development by suppressing myogenin.

Physical form

Voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav) β subunits are auxiliary subunits to Cavs. Recent reports show Cavβ subunits may enter the nucleus and suggest a role in transcriptional regulation, but the physiological relevance of this localization remains unclear. We sought to define

The β subunits of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels are best known for their roles in regulating surface expression and gating of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel α(1) subunits. Recent evidence, however, indicates that these proteins have a variety of Ca(2+) channel-independent functions. For
