Supplementary information

The CACNA1F gene encodes the alpha-1F subunit of a voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel. This protein also known as Cav1.4 has a mass of approximately 230 kDa. It facilitates the influx of calcium ions into the cells in response to changes in electric potential across the cell membrane. The protein is expressed mainly in the retina where it plays an important role in the function of photoreceptor cells.
Biological function summary

The CACNA1F protein influences neurotransmitter release by regulating calcium entry which is essential for visual processing. It functions as a part of a larger voltage-gated calcium channel complex where its role is to fine-tune calcium signals. This precise control is necessary for the proper response to light stimuli in the eye allowing effective signal transmission to the visual pathways.

Pathways

The CACNA1F protein integrates into the calcium signaling pathway important for neuronal communication and sensory processes. It is also linked to the phototransduction cascade in the retina. Within these pathways CACNA1F interacts with related proteins like beta subunits that modulate the activity of the L-type calcium channels impacting overall visual function.

Mutations in the CACNA1F gene are associated with X-linked congenital stationary night blindness and other retinal disorders. These conditions can lead to an impaired vision due to the disrupted calcium flow in photoreceptors. Additionally CACNA1F shows a relationship with other calcium channel proteins like CACNA1S potentially influencing disorder phenotypes through altered ionic homeostasis.

Target data

Isoform 1. Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1F gives rise to L-type calcium currents. Long-lasting (L-type) calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group. They are blocked by dihydropyridines (DHP), phenylalkylamines, and by benzothiazepines. Activates at more negative voltages and does not undergo calcium-dependent inactivation (CDI), due to incoming calcium ions, during depolarization.. Isoform 4. Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel activates at more hyperpolarized voltages and exhibits a robust calcium-dependent inactivation (CDI), due to incoming calcium ions, during depolarizations.. Isoform 5. Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death.. Isoform 6. Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel activates at more hyperpolarized voltages and exhibits a robust calcium-dependent inactivation (CDI), due to incoming calcium ions, during depolarizations.
