What is the function of this protein?
Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death.  The isoform alpha-1A gives rise to P and/or Q-type calcium currents.  P/Q-type calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group and are specifically blocked by the spider omega-agatoxin-IVA (AC P30288) (PubMed:1311418).  They are however insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHP).
What are the official names of this protein?
Voltage-dependent P/Q-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1A, Brain calcium channel I, BI, Calcium channel, L type, alpha-1 polypeptide, isoform 4, Rat brain class A, RBA-I, Voltage-gated calcium channel subunit alpha Cav2.1.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit (TC 1.A.1.11) family. CACNA1A subfamily.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
