Abstract excerpt
Intracellular calcium is critical in orchestrating neuronal excitability and analgesia. Carbonic anhydrase-8 (CA8) regulates intracellular calcium signaling through allosteric inhibition of neuronal inositol trisphosphate receptor 1 (ITPR1) to produce profound analgesia. Recently, we reported the "G" allele at rs6471859 represents cis-eQTL regulating alternative splicing of a 1697 bp transcript (CA8-204G) with a...
