Abstract excerpt
α2δ proteins serve as auxiliary subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels and regulate channel membrane expression and current properties. Besides their channel function, α2δ proteins regulate synapse formation, differentiation, and synaptic wiring. Considering these important functions, it is not surprising that CACNA2D1-4, the genes encoding for α2δ-1 to -4 isoforms, have been implicated in neurological,...
