Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated Cav Ca2+ channels play crucial roles in regulating gene transcription, neuronal excitability, and synaptic transmission. Natural or pathological variations in Cav channels have yielded rich insights into the molecular determinants controlling channel function. Here, we report the consequences of a natural, putatively disease-associated mutation in the CACNA1D gene encoding the pore-forming Cav1.3 α1...
