General annotation (Comments)

Function

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 blocked by the funnel toxin (Ftx) and by the omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA). They are however insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHP), and omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CTx-GVIA).

Subunit structure

Voltage-dependent calcium channels are multisubunit complexes, consisting of alpha-1, alpha-2, beta and delta subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. The channel activity is directed by the pore-forming and voltage-sensitive alpha-1 subunit. In many cases, this subunit is sufficient to generate voltage-sensitive calcium channel activity. The auxiliary subunits beta and alpha-2/delta linked by a disulfide bridge regulate the channel activity. Interact (via C-terminal CDB motif) with CABP1 in the pre- and postsynaptic membranes.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Brain specific; mainly found in cerebellum, cerebral cortex, thalamus and hypothalamus. Expressed in the small cell lung carcinoma cell line SCC-9. No expression in heart, kidney, liver or muscle. Purkinje cells contain predominantly P-type VSCC, the Q-type being a prominent calcium current in cerebellar granule cells. Ref.6

Domain

Each of the four internal repeats contains five hydrophobic transmembrane segments (S1, S2, S3, S5, S6) and one positively charged transmembrane segment (S4). S4 segments probably represent the voltage-sensor and are characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.

Polymorphism

The poly-Gln region of CACNA1A is polymorphic: 6 to 17 repeats in the normal population, expanded to about 21 to 30 repeats in SCA6. Repeat expansion has been reported also in a EA2 family.

Involvement in disease

Defects in CACNA1A are the cause of spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) [MIM:183086]. Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA6 is mainly caused by expansion of a CAG repeat in the coding region of CACNA1A. There seems to be a correlation between the repeat number and earlier onset of the disorder. Ref.3 Ref.10 Ref.11

Defects in CACNA1A are the cause of familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) [MIM:141500]; also known as migraine familial hemiplegic 1 (MHP1). FHM, a rare autosomal dominant subtype of migraine with aura, is associated with ictal hemiparesis and, in some families, progressive cerebellar atrophy. Ref.2 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.16 Ref.20

Defects in CACNA1A are the cause of episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) [MIM:108500]; also known as acetazolamide-responsive hereditary paroxysmal cerebellar ataxia (APCA). EA2 is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by acetozolamide-responsive attacks of ataxia, migraine-like symptoms, interictal nystagmus, and cerebellar atrophy.
