CACNA2D3 - calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 3 Gene
Also Known as HSA272268
Species: Homo sapiens
About CACNA2D3
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 303 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 3.0), adrenal (RPKM 1.8) and 16 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]
