Calcium Channel, Voltage Dependent, Gamma Subunit 1 (CACNg1)

CACNg1 represents one of these subunits, gamma, and is one of several 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 a member of the neuronal calcium channel gamma subunit gene subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family and is located in a cluster with two similar gamma subunit-encoding genes.the CACNLG locus is about 19 cM distal to the SCN4Aand GH1 loci, which in turn are about 32 cM telomeric of the HOX2B locus, on chromosome 17. the gamma subunit of the skeletal muscle and neuronal dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channel is encoded by a gene located on 17q11.2-q24 in the same region as the gene for the beta-1 subunit.
