Cacna1i - calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 I

Enables low voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in calcium ion import and calcium ion transport into cytosol. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion transport and regulation of membrane potential. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated sodium channel complex. Predicted to be active in neuron projection. Biomarker of sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human CACNA1I (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 I).
