What is the function of this protein?
Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells (PubMed:30343943).  They 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-1E gives rise to R-type calcium currents.  R-type calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group and are blocked by nickel.  They are however insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHP).  Calcium channels containing alpha-1E subunit could be involved in the modulation of firing patterns of neurons which is important for information processing.
What are the official names of this protein?
Voltage-dependent R-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1E, Brain calcium channel II, BII, Calcium channel, L type, alpha-1 polypeptide, isoform 6, Voltage-gated calcium channel subunit alpha Cav2.3.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit (TC 1.A.1.11) family. CACNA1E subfamily.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
