Abstract excerpt
The voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel isoform CaV1.2 is critically involved in many physiological processes, e.g., in cardiac action potential formation, electromechanical coupling and regulation of insulin secretion by beta cells. Gain-of-function mutations in the calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1 C (CACNA1C) gene, encoding the CaV1.2 α1-subunit, cause Timothy syndrome (TS), a multisystemic...
