Biochem/physiol Actions
Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, L type, α1C subunit (Cav1.2) is a protein encoded by the CACNA1C gene in humans and belongs to the family of voltage-gated calcium channels. It serves as the key transducers of cell surface membrane potential changes into local intracellular calcium transients that initiate different physiological events. CACNA1C is a subunit of L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel. It is mapped to chromosome 12p13.3 and is implicated as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia. CACNA1C is selectively expressed in human TH2 cells and blockage of Cav1.2 channel activation in TH2 cells may represent new strategies to treat allergic diseases in human subjects. Its increased activity is implicated in the pathogenesis of dementia and Alzheimer′s disease (AD).
Target description
Calcium Channel CaV1.2 (CACNA1C ) encodes an alpha-1 subunit of a voltage-dependent calcium channel. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization.

CACNA1C (12p13.3) has been implicated as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia by several replicated genome wide association studies. While these results have been consistent among studies in European populations, the findings in East Asian populations have varied. To test whether

An increase in Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels is thought to contribute to neuronal dysfunctions that underlie senile symptoms and Alzheimer's disease. The molecular basis of the age-dependent up-regulation in neuronal L-type Ca2+ channel activity is largely unknown. We

In addition to calcium release-activated calcium channel/ORAI calcium channels, the role of voltage-gated calcium (Cav1) channels in T-cell calcium signaling is emerging. Cav1 channels are formed by α1 (CaV1.1 to CaV1.4) and auxiliary subunits. We previously demonstrated that mouse TH2
