| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Contributes to voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in positive regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus. Acts upstream of or within regulation of calcium ion transport. Located in T-tubule and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; neuronal dense core vesicle; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; skeletal musculature; and trigeminal nerve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 110. Orthologous to human CACNA2D1 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice with a point mutation allele exhibit abnormal CNS synaptic transmission and decreased response to pregabalin. [provided by MGI curators] |
