Calcium Channel, Voltage Dependent, Gamma Subunit 3 (CACNg3)

Transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein gamma-3; Neuronal voltage-gated calcium channel gamma-3 subunit

Calcium Channel, Voltage Dependent, Gamma Subunit 3 (CACNg3)
Voltage-dependent calcium channels couple membrane depolarization in a number of cellular processes. These activities are regulated by distinct channels composed of alpha-1, beta, alpha-2/delta, and gamma subunits. represents one of these subunits, gamma, and is one of several gamma subunit proteins. It is an integral membrane protein that is thought to stabilize the calcium channel in an inactive (closed) state. This protein is similar to the mouse stargazin protein, mutations in which have been associated with absence seizures, also known as petit-mal or spike-wave seizures. This gene is a member of the neuronal calcium channel gamma subunit gene subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family. This gene is a candidate gene for a familial infantile convulsive disorder with paroxysomal choreoathetosis.
