The impact of splice isoforms on voltage-gated calcium channel alpha1 subunits.
The Journal of physiology - 1 Feb 2004

Abstract excerpt
Semi-conserved exon boundaries in members of the CACNA1 gene family result in recurring pre-mRNA splicing patterns. The resulting variations in the encoded pore-forming subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel affect functionally significant regions, such as the vicinity of the voltage-sensing S4 segments or the intracellular loops that are important for protein interaction. In addition to generating...
