Cacna2d1 - calcium channel, voltage-dependent, alpha2/delta subunit 1

This gene encodes a regulatory component of the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex. The product of this gene is a proprotein that is proteolytically processed into alpha-2 and delta subunits, which are linked by a disulfide bond. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
