Gene information for CACNG8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID59283
Official gene symbolCACNG8
Full namecalcium channel, voltage-dependent, gamma subunit 8
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP). TARPs regulate both trafficking and channel gating of the AMPA receptors. This gene is part of a functionally diverse eight-member protein subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family and is located in a cluster with two family members, a type II TARP and a calcium channel gamma subunit. The mRNA for this gene is believed to initiate translation from a non-AUG (CUG) start codon. [provided by RefSeq]
