Gene information for CACNA2D2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9254
Official gene symbolCACNA2D2
Full namecalcium channel, voltage-dependent, alpha 2/delta subunit 2
Aliases,CACNA2D,KIAA0558,LUAC11.1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the alpha-2/delta subunit family, a protein in the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization and consist of a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Various versions of each of these subunits exist, either expressed from similar genes or the result of alternative splicing. Research on a highly similar protein in rabbit suggests the protein described in this record is cleaved into alpha-2 and delta subunits. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
