Biochem/physiol Actions

Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, T type, α1H subunit (CACNA1H) plays an essential role in regulating neuronal excitability and network oscillations in the brain. Mutations in the gene are associated with various forms of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Gaining-of-function mutation in CACNA1H increases seizure susceptibility by directly altering neuronal electrical properties and indirectly by changing gene expression. CACNA1H acts as an important mediator of Ca²⁺ entry near the resting membrane potential. It plays a pivotal role in processing of pain signals and may serve as a novel target for development of drugs for the treatment of intractable pain resistant to currently available analgesics. CACNA1H up-regulation is involved in the pathophysiology of inflammatory, neuropathic and visceral pain.

General description

Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, T type, α1H subunit (CACNA1H) is a protein encoded by the CACNA1H gene in humans and is mapped to chromosome 16p13.3. The proteins are membrane protein machinery performing selective permeation of external calcium ions. The α1H channel is sensitive to mibefradil, a nondihydropyridine Ca²⁺ channel blocker. CACNA1H is abundantly expressed in both peripheral and central endings of the primary afferent neurons, regulating neuronal excitability and release of excitatory neurotransmitters.
