CACNA2D4 - calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 4 Gene
Also Known as RCD4
Species: Homo sapiens
About CACNA2D4
This gene has 26 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 313 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 1.1), appendix (RPKM 1.0) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the alpha-2/delta subunit family, a protein in the voltage-dependent Calcium Channel complex. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization and consist of a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Various versions of each of these subunits exist, either expressed from similar genes or the result of alternative splicing. Research on a highly similar protein in rabbit suggests the protein described in this record is cleaved into alpha-2 and delta subunits. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
