Background
CACNA2D4 is a member of the alpha-2/delta subunitfamily, a protein in the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex.Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cellupon membrane polarization and consist of a complex of alpha-1,alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Variousversions of each of these subunits exist, either expressed fromsimilar genes or the result of alternative splicing. Research on ahighly similar protein in rabbit suggests the protein described inthis record is cleaved into alpha-2 and delta subunits. Alternatetranscriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed buthave not been thoroughly characterized.
