Supplementary information

Pan Cav2 also known as Cav2 channels or voltage-gated calcium channels of the Cav2 family function mechanically to facilitate the influx of calcium ions through cellular membranes in response to membrane depolarization. These channels are important for converting electrical signals into calcium signals which play a big role in various cellular processes. Cav2 channels typically compose of the α1 subunit and several auxiliary subunits. The α1 subunit has an approximate mass of 190-250 kDa. Cav2 channels express widely throughout the nervous system including in neurons of the brain and spinal cord and also in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells.
Biological function summary

Cav2 channels play key roles in neurotransmitter release muscle contraction and hormone secretion. These channels form part of multiprotein complexes that involve various auxiliary subunits which modulate their function and localization. Through their regulation of calcium influx Cav2 channels critically impact synaptic transmission and plasticity in neuronal communication. They also contribute to excitation-contraction coupling in muscle cells enabling the precise control of muscle actions.

Pathways

Cav2 channels heavily influence calcium signaling pathways and synaptic plasticity pathways. Within the calcium signaling pathway their activity directly alters intracellular calcium concentrations which modulate downstream signaling cascades. These channels closely interact with proteins such as SNARE proteins and synaptotagmin in neurotransmitter release. In pathways related to synaptic plasticity Cav2 channels influence long-term potentiation impacting learning and memory processes.

Cav2 channel dysfunction associates with neurological disorders such as migraine and epilepsy. Aberrant expression or mutation of Cav2 channel components disrupts normal neural excitation leading to these disorders. The channels also connect with auxiliary proteins such as α2δ subunits that can alter pain pathways implicating them in certain pain disorders. Moreover irregularities in Cav2 channel function may link to cardiac arrhythmias through interactions with cardiac proteins responsible for proper heartbeat rhythm.

Product protocols

Target data

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-1A gives rise to P and/or Q-type calcium currents. P/Q-type calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group and are specifically blocked by the spider omega-agatoxin-IVA (AC P54282) (By similarity). They are however insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHP).
