Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.1.0)

Enables high voltage-gated calcium channel activity and voltage-gated calcium channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium levels. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; chemical synaptic transmission; and nervous system development. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body. Part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; heart; and trigeminal nerve. Used to study Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome; brain disease (multiple); and episodic ataxia type 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease (multiple) and episodic ataxia type 2. Orthologous to human CACNA1A (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A).
