Background: Voltage-dependent calcium channels are essential for the release of neurotransmitters. Cacna2d1 (calcium channel, voltage-dependent, alpha 2/delta subunit 1), also known as CACNA2, CCHL2A, MHS3 or CACNL2A, is a 1,091 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains one VWFA domain and one cache domain. Expressed in skeletal muscle, aorta tissues and in the central nervous system (CNS), Cacna2d1 functions as an alpha-2/delta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels and plays an important role in calcium current density, as well as in excitation-contraction coupling. The Cacna2d1 precursor is proteolytically processed to produce two functional subunits, designated alpha-2-1 and delta-1, which are disulfide-linked to one another.
