= CACNA1G
{wiki=CACNA1G}
CACNA1G is a gene that encodes a subunit of a voltage-gated calcium channel. Specifically, it is part of the family of calcium channel genes that contribute to the formation of L-type calcium channels, which are essential for a variety of physiological processes, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and neuronal excitability. The protein produced by the CACNA1G gene is particularly involved in the regulation of calcium ions flowing into cells in response to changes in membrane potential.
