Abstract excerpt
P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels are regulated, in part, through the cytoplasmic C-terminus of their alpha1A subunit. Genetic absence or alteration of the C-terminus leads to abnormal channel function and neurological disease. Here, we show that the terminal 60-75 kDa of the endogenous alpha1A C-terminus is cleaved from the full-length protein and is present in cell nuclei. Antiserum to the C-terminus...
