Gene information for CACNB1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID782
Official gene symbolCACNB1
Full namecalcium channel, voltage-dependent, beta 1 subunit
Aliases,CAB1,CACNLB1,CCHLB1,MGC41896,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the calcium channel beta subunit family. It plays an important role in the calcium channel by modulating G protein inhibition, increasing peak calcium current, controlling the alpha-1 subunit membrane targeting and shifting the voltage dependence of activation and inactivation. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three transcript variants encoding three distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
