products description :
Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that help establish and control the small voltage gradient across the plasma membrane of living cells by allowing the flow of ions down their electrochemical gradient. Cavbeta subunits are involved in the transport of the pore-forming alpha1 subunit to the plasma membrane. They also shield an ER Retention signal on the alpha1 subunit, thereby guiding the poreforming subunit to the target membrane.

uniprot summary :
CACNB2: The beta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels contributes to the function of the calcium channel by increasing peak calcium current, shifting the voltage dependencies of activation and inactivation, modulating G protein inhibition and controlling the alpha-1 subunit membrane targeting. Defects in CACNB2 are the cause of Brugada syndrome type 4 (BRGDA4). A heart disease characterized by the association of Brugada syndrome with shortened QT intervals. Brugada syndrome is a tachyarrhythmia characterized by right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It can cause the ventricles to beat so fast that the blood is prevented from circulating efficiently in the body. When this situation occurs (called ventricular fibrillation), the individual will faint and may die in a few minutes if the heart is not reset. Belongs to the calcium channel beta subunit family. 8 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Channel, calcium. Cellular Component: voltage-gated calcium channel complex; sarcolemma. Molecular Function: voltage-gated calcium channel activity; protein domain specific binding; calcium channel regulator activity; high voltage-gated calcium channel activity; phosphoprotein binding; protein kinase binding. Biological Process: synaptic transmission; visual perception; calcium ion transport; positive regulation of calcium ion transport; neuromuscular junction development
