Gene information for CACNG1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID786
Official gene symbolCACNG1
Full namecalcium channel, voltage-dependent, gamma subunit 1
Aliases,CACNLG,
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 part of skeletal muscle 1,4-dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels and is an integral membrane protein that plays a role in excitation-contraction coupling. 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).
