Voltage-dependent R-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1E (Voltage- gated calcium channel subunit alpha Cav2.3) (Calcium channel, L type, alpha-1 polypeptide, isoform 6) (Brain calcium channel II) (BII); 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-1E gives rise to R-type calcium currents. R-type calcium channels belong to t [...] (2313 aa)
