Gene Description | CACNA1A, calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A, encodes the component forming the ion-conductiong pore of the neuronal P/Q-type calcium channel (PMID: 8898206), which plays a role in neurotransmission and neurotransmitter release (PMID: 15003170, PMID: 10670432), maintaining proper neurological function (PMID: 22249839). CACNA1A fusion and germline mutation have been identified in lung cancer (PMID: 33809651, PMID: 34540367), and hypermethylation of CACNA1A has been identified in lung cancer (PMID: 20849603). | ||||||||||
