Complex effects on CaV2.1 channel gating caused by a CACNA1A variant associated with a severe neurodevelopmental disorder
2 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract P/Q-type Ca2+ currents mediated by CaV2.1 channels are essential for active neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions and many central synapses. Mutations in CACNA1A, the gene encoding the principal CaV2.1 α1A subunit, cause a broad spectrum of neurological disorders. Typically, gain-of-function (GOF) mutations are associated with migraine and epilepsy while loss-of-function (LOF) mutations are...
