Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in neurotransmitter receptor internalization; postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor diffusion trapping; and protein localization to organelle. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including membrane hyperpolarization; neuromuscular junction development; and transmission of nerve impulse. Located in somatodendritic compartment. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; ileum; spinal cord; and trigeminal nerve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 10. Orthologous to human CACNG2 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 2).
