Biochem/physiol Actions
The Cav2.1 P/Q voltage-dependent calcium channel is encoded by the CACNA1A gene in humans. It is a pore-forming essential subunit embedded in the plasma membrane. Mutation in this gene causes a number of human neurologic diseases including familial hemiplegic migraine. CACNA1A is associated with both hemiplegic migraine and migraine with aura in patients. Mutation in this gene is the cause of Type 2 episodic ataxia (EA2) the most common subtype among a group of rare hereditary syndromes characterized by recurrent attacks of ataxia.
Physical form
Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.

Mutations in the CACNA1A gene, which encodes the pore-forming α1A subunit of the CaV2.1 voltage-gated calcium channel, cause a number of human neurologic diseases including familial hemiplegic migraine. We have analyzed the functional impact of the E1015K amino acid substitution

Horizontal cells send inhibitory feedback to photoreceptors, helping form antagonistic receptive fields in the retina, but the neurotransmitter and the mechanisms underlying this signalling are not known. Since the proteins responsible for conventional Ca(2+)-dependent release of GABAergic synaptic vesicles are
As with other elements of the peripheral auditory system, spiral ganglion neurons display specializations that vary as a function of location along the tonotopic axis. Previous work has shown that voltage-gated K(+) channels and synaptic proteins show graded changes in
The human α1A voltage-dependent calcium channel (Cav2.1) is a pore-forming essential subunit embedded in the plasma membrane. Its cytoplasmic carboxyl(C)-tail contains a small poly-glutamine (Q) tract, whose length is normally 4∼19 Q, but when expanded up to 20∼33Q, the tract

Inborn errors of CACNA1A-encoded P/Q-type calcium channels impair synaptic transmission, producing early and lifelong neurological deficits, including childhood absence epilepsy, ataxia and dystonia. Whether these impairments owe their pathologies to defective channel function during the critical period for thalamic network
