| Target Information | |
|---|---|
| Species | Rattus norvegicus |
| Target Name | CACNA1A |
| UniProt No. | P54282 |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein |
| Tissue Specificity | Brain specific. Purkinje cells contain predominantly P-type VSCC, the Q-type being a prominent calcium current in cerebellar granule cells. Also found in heart, in kidney distal convoluted tubule (DCT), and in pituitary. |
| Gene Abbr. | Cacna1a |
| Full Name | calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A |
| Alias | BccA1, Cav2.1, rbA-1 |
| Introduction | Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1A gives rise to P and/or Q-type calcium currents. P/Q-type calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group and are blocked by the funnel toxin (Ftx) and by the omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA). They are however insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHP), and omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CTx-GVIA). |
