What is the function of this protein?
Pore-forming, alpha-1C subunit of the voltage-gated calcium channel that gives rise to L-type calcium currents (PubMed:10101289).  Mediates influx of calcium ions into the cytoplasm, and thereby triggers calcium release from the sarcoplasm (By similarity).  Plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling in the heart (By similarity).  Required for normal heart development and normal regulation of heart rhythm (By similarity).  Required for normal contraction of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels and in the intestine (By similarity).  Essential for normal blood pressure regulation via its role in the contraction of arterial smooth muscle cells (By similarity).  Long-lasting (L-type) calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group (By similarity).
What are the official names of this protein?
Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1C, Calcium channel, L type, alpha-1 polypeptide, isoform 1, cardiac muscle, Voltage-gated calcium channel subunit alpha Cav1.2.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit (TC 1.A.1.11) family. CACNA1C subfamily.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane, sarcolemma; Multi-pass membrane protein. Perikaryon. Postsynaptic density membrane. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell membrane, sarcolemma, T-tubule. Note=Colocalizes with ryanodine receptors in distinct clusters at the junctional membrane, where the sarcolemma and the sarcoplasmic reticulum are in close contact. The interaction between RRAD and CACNB2 promotes the expression of CACNA1C at the cell membrane.
