CACNA1I calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 I

Gene ID: 8911, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Cav3.3; NEDSIS; ca(v)3.3

Summary

This gene encodes the pore-forming alpha subunit of a voltage gated calcium channel. The encoded protein is a member of a subfamily of calcium channels referred to as is a low voltage-activated, T-type, calcium channel. The channel encoded by this protein is characterized by a slower activation and inactivation compared to other T-type calcium channels. This protein may be involved in calcium signaling in neurons. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
