General description
The calcium channel, voltage-dependent, N type, α1B subunit (CACNA1B) or Cav2.2 gene consists of 47 exons and 46 introns, spanning 244kb. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 9q34. The encoded protein is a member of the voltage-gated calcium channel family.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 851-867 of the α1B subunit of rat brain voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC, CNB1), with additional N-terminal lysine and tyrosine, conjugated to KLH.1
Application

Biochem/physiol Actions
Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, N type, α1B subunit (CACNA1B) plays a vital role in regulation of trafficking and biophysical properties of voltage-gated calcium channels. Members of voltage-gated calcium channel family act as key transducers of cell surface membrane potential changes to local intracellular calcium transients that initiate various physiological events. The N-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) expressed mainly in the neurons, facilitate neurotransmitter release at the sympathetic nerve terminals. CACNA1B is expressed on presynaptic nerve terminals of nociceptors control neurotransmitter release.
Physical form
Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.

The Ca(v)beta subunits of high voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels control the trafficking and biophysical properties of the alpha(1) subunit. The Ca(v)beta-alpha(1) interaction site has been mapped by crystallographic studies. Nevertheless, how this interaction leads to channel regulation has not been determined.
