Voltage gated calcium channels control cellular calcium entry in response to changes in membrane potential. The isoleucine-glutamine (IQ) motif in the voltage gated calcium channel IQ domain interacts with hydrophobic pockets of Ca2+/calmodulin [1]. The interaction regulates two self-regulatory calcium dependent feedback mechanism, calcium dependent inactivation (CDI), and calcium-dependent facilitation (CDF).
Voltage gated calcium channel subunit beta domain 4Aa N terminal
The beta subunit of voltage gated calcium channels is coded for by four genes 1-4. Gene 4 can produce two types of beta4A domain (beta4Aa and beta4Ab) according to how the gene splicing is carried out. This family is part of the beta4Aa N terminal do ...
The beta subunit of voltage gated calcium channels is coded for by four genes 1-4. Gene 4 can produce two types of beta4A domain (beta4Aa and beta4Ab) according to how the gene splicing is carried out. This family is part of the beta4Aa N terminal domain. It is made up of an alpha helix and a beta strand. It is thought to regulate the channel properties through protein-protein interactions with non Ca channel proteins. [1]
