Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion transmembrane transport; establishment of localization in cell; and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ion transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of L-type voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is expressed in brain; heart; retina; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in malignant hyperthermia. Orthologous to human CACNG1 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 1).
