General annotation (Comments)
| Function | The alpha-2/delta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels regulates calcium current density and activation/inactivation kinetics of the calcium channel. Ref.1 |
| Subunit structure | Dimer formed of alpha-2-2 and delta-2 chains; disulfide-linked. Voltage-dependent calcium channels are multisubunit complexes, consisting of alpha-1 (CACNA1), alpha-2 (CACNA2D), beta (CACNB) and delta (CACNA2D) subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio Probable. Interacts with CACNA1C and CACNB3. Ref.1 |
| Subcellular location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein Potential. |
| Tissue specificity | Predominantly expressed in certain types of endocrine cells. Present in the Paneth cells of the small intestine. Also present in the erythroblasts in the fetal liver, in the cells of the zona reticularis of the adrenal gland and in the basophils of the pituitary. Present at low level in some brain regions such as the cerebellum (at protein level). Ref.1 |
| Domain | The MIDAS-like motif in the VWFA domain binds divalent metal cations and is required to promote trafficking of the alpha-1 (CACNA1) subunit to the plasma membrane by an integrin-like switch By similarity. |
| Post-translational modification | May be proteolytically processed into subunits alpha-2-4 and delta-4 that are disulfide-linked. It is however unclear whether such cleavage really takes place in vivo and has a functional role By similarity. |
| Involvement in disease | Retinal cone dystrophy 4 (RCD4) [MIM:610478]: Characterized by minimal symptoms except for slowly progressive reduction in visual acuity. |
| Miscellaneous | In contrast to CACNA2D1 and CACNA2D2, it does not bind gabapentin, an antiepileptic drug. |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the calcium channel subunit alpha-2/delta family. Contains 1 cache domain. Contains 1 VWFA domain. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAH48288.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous translation. Wrong choice of frame. The sequence AAN06672.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended. |

Alternative products
| This entry describes 6 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select] | ||||||
| Isoform 1 (identifier: Q7Z3S7-1) Also known as: Alpha2delta-4a; This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry. | ||||||
| Isoform 2 (identifier: Q7Z3S7-2) The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 975-1137: Missing. | ||||||
| Note: No experimental confirmation available. May be due to an intron retention. | ||||||
| Isoform 4 (identifier: Q7Z3S7-4) Also known as: Alpha2delta-4b; The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 1-76: MVCGCSALLP...WGQAKIPLET → MAVALGTRRRDR | ||||||
| Isoform 5 (identifier: Q7Z3S7-5) Also known as: Alpha2delta-4c; The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 1104-1137: ENAQDCGGASDTSASPPLLLLPVCAWGLLPQLLR → VRVEADRGWA...LGGNIRVYAL | ||||||
| Isoform 6 (identifier: Q7Z3S7-6) Also known as: Alpha2delta-4d; The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 1-76: MVCGCSALLP...WGQAKIPLET → MAVALGTRRRDR 1104-1137: ENAQDCGGASDTSASPPLLLLPVCAWGLLPQLLR → VRVEADRGWA...LGGNIRVYAL | ||||||
| Isoform 7 (identifier: Q7Z3S7-7) The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows: 1-855: Missing. 872-886: Missing. 908-911: TGRF → SDYV 912-1137: Missing. | ||||||
| Note: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. |
