Gene:
calcium channel, voltage-dependent, beta 1 subunit
Gene ID:
190336
Symbol:
CACNB1
Species:
1000
Description:
The 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.
