Gene information for Cacng8 (Rattus norvegicus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID140729
Official gene symbolCacng8
Full namecalcium channel, voltage-dependent, gamma subunit 8
Aliases-
Gene summaryVoltage-dependent calcium channels couple membrane depolarization in a number of cellular processes. These activities are regulated by distinct channels composed of the pore-forming alpha-1 subunit and the modulatory beta, alpha-2/delta and gamma subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents one of the gamma subunits. It is an integral membrane protein that is thought to stabilize the calcium channel in an inactive (closed) state. This gene is located in a cluster with two similar gamma subunit-encoding genes on chromosome 1. The mRNA for this gene is believed to initiate translation from a non-AUG (CUG) start codon.
