Biochem/physiol Actions

The Ca_v2.1 P/Q voltage-dependent calcium channel is encoded by the CACNA1A gene in humans. It is a pore-forming essential subunit embedded in the plasma membrane. Mutation in this gene causes a number of human neurologic diseases including familial hemiplegic migraine. CACNA1A is associated with both hemiplegic migraine and migraine with aura in patients. Mutation in this gene is the cause of Type 2 episodic ataxia (EA2) the most common subtype among a group of rare hereditary syndromes characterized by recurrent attacks of ataxia.
