Supplementary information

CACNA1C also known as Cav1.2 is a voltage-dependent calcium channel α1C subunit. It primarily facilitates the influx of calcium ions into cells upon depolarization. Cav1.2 weighs approximately 250 kDa and plays an essential role in cellular processes across multiple systems. You can find it highly expressed in the heart brain and smooth muscle tissues. It's significant for conducting electrical signals that control muscle contractions and neurotransmitter release.

Biological function summary

Cav1.2 channels regulate intracellular calcium levels affecting processes such as cardiac contraction neuronal excitability and gene expression. This protein does not function alone; it forms complexes with other auxiliary subunits that modulate its activity and localization. Through this regulation CACNA1C supports critical cellular responses and maintains homeostasis within its expressed organs.

Pathways

Cav1.2 integrates into important pathways like the excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac myocytes and the neural signaling pathways in neurons. Through its interaction with calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) CACNA1C affects downstream cascades that influence cellular functions and responses to external stimuli. The protein also interacts with other ion channels facilitating comprehensive cellular communication and function in its specialized tissues.

Altered CACNA1C function associates with cardiac diseases like Timothy syndrome and various forms of Long QT syndrome. The abnormal activity of this channel also links to psychiatric disorders such as bipolar disorder where it interacts with proteins involved in mood regulation. Substantial research focuses on targeting CACNA1C for therapeutic intervention due to its significant role in these disorders highlighting the protein as an important target for new treatments.

Target data

Pore-forming, alpha-1C subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel that gives rise to L-type calcium currents (PubMed : 14609949, PubMed : 18586882, PubMed : 21216955, PubMed : 25368181, PubMed : 28119464, PubMed : 10973973). Mediates influx of calcium ions into the cytoplasm, and thereby triggers calcium release from the sarcoplasm (By similarity). Plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling in the heart. Required for normal heart development and normal regulation of heart rhythm (PubMed : 21216955). Required for normal contraction of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels and in the intestine. Essential for normal blood pressure regulation via its role in the contraction of arterial smooth muscle cells (PubMed : 14609949, PubMed : 28119464). Long-lasting (L-type) calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group (Probable).
