CACNA1S calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S

Gene ID: 779, updated on 18-Jul-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MHS5; DHPRM; HOKPP; TTPP1; CMYO18; CMYP18; Cav1.1; HOKPP1; hypoPP; CCHL1A3; CACNL1A3

Summary

This gene encodes one of the five subunits of the slowly inactivating L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel in skeletal muscle cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hypokalemic periodic paralysis, thyrotoxic periodic paralysis and malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
