General description
The gene CACNB4 (Calcium channel voltage-dependent subunit beta 4) is mapped to human chromosome 2q22-23. It is present at the membrane as well as the nucleus.
Specificity
Specifically recognizes a splice variant of β4 (55 kDa).
Immunogen
synthetic peptide derived from the rat β4 calcium channel subunit conjugated to KLH.
Application
Anti-Calcium Channel (β-4 subunit) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blot at a concentration of 5-10μg/mL using brain tissue lysate.
The antibody has been used for:
The antibody has been used for:
- western blotting of proteins extracted from different brain regions of the mouse
- western blotting of proteins isolated from primary culture of mouse cerebral cortical neurons
Biochem/physiol Actions
The CACNB4 (Calcium channel voltage-dependent subunit β 4) 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. Mutations in CACNB4 are associated with idiopathic generalized epilepsy and episodic ataxia. CACNB4 interacts with heterochromatin protein 1γ (HP1γ). The interaction attenuates the gene silencing activity by HP1.

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
