Gene Information

General description

Calcium channel, L type α-1 polypeptide isoform 2 (CACNA1D) is expressed in many tissues and possesses six transmembrane segments, along with a loop lining the pore of the channel. The gene encoding CACNA1D is localized on human chromosome 3p14.3.

Specificity

Detects ~250 kDa. No cross-reactivity against Cav1.2

Immunogen

Fusion protein amino acids 859-875 of rat Cav1.3, Accession Number P27732

Application

Monoclonal Anti-CACNA1D antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calcium channel, L type α-1 polypeptide isoform 2 (CACNA1D) is crucial for the functioning of the brain and in hearing. It gets activated at a fast rate and withstands high inward Ca2+ currents even at threshold voltages. CACNA1D aids in dendritic signals linked to mitochondrial stress in the brain and is important for estrogen-stimulated Ca2+ influx. Studies have shown that in atrial myocytes, the C terminus of the channel translocates to the nucleus and regulates Ca2+-activated K+ channels. CACNA1D was shown to be upregulated in endometrial cancer and its knockdown showed a reduction in cell proliferation in vitro. Mutations in the gene encoding it has been associated with aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs), where it leads to the formation of small adenomas.

Primary aldosteronism is the most common form of secondary hypertension. Somatic mutations in KCNJ5, ATP1A1, ATP2B3, and CACNA1D have been described in aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs). Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of somatic mutations in these genes in unselected
