Gene information for CACNG6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID59285
Official gene symbolCACNG6
Full namecalcium channel, voltage-dependent, gamma subunit 6
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryVoltage-dependent calcium channels are composed of five subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents one of these subunits, gamma, and is one of two known gamma subunit proteins. This particular gamma subunit is an integral membrane protein that is thought to stabilize the calcium channel in an inactive (closed) state. 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 that function as transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Variants in this gene have been associated with aspirin-intolerant asthma. [provided by RefSeq]
