Summary: Enables voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including neuromuscular junction development; positive regulation of organ growth; and rhythmic synaptic transmission. Part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; lip; and retina. Used to study epilepsy and idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Orthologous to human CACNA2D2 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 2).

Inner hair cells possess calcium channels that are essential for transmitting sound information into synaptic transmitter release. Voltage-gated calcium channels can coassemble with auxiliary subunit alpha2delta isoforms 1-4.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
