Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable high voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium ion import across plasma membrane and chemical synaptic transmission. Predicted to act upstream of or within calcium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Predicted to be active in neuronal cell body. Is expressed in heart and nervous system. Used to study absence epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 42; hereditary ataxia (multiple); and migraine (multiple). Orthologous to human CACNA1A (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A).
