CACNA1C activates calcium(2+). 59 / 59

reach
"The activation of Cav1.2 by plasma membrane depolarization allows Ca to flow into the cell; Ca binds to RyR2, a large homotetrameric Ca release channel expressed in cardiomyocytes and located on the SR membrane (Figure 1), and induces it to open and to release Ca from the SR, thus triggering muscle contraction."
reach
"De La Mata et al. showed that the T-tubule associated protein BIN1 (Bridging integrator 1) expression promotes the formation of the extensive tubular distribution and suggested that its expression along the sarcolemma can promote clustering of Cav1.2, which increases the chance of cooperative gating and calcium influx involved in excitation contraction coupling."
reach
"Additionally, DMD EHTs displayed increased expression of genes related to excitation-contraction coupling and regulation of membrane potential (SCN5A, CACNA1G, CACNA1C), which could point toward membrane hyper-excitability and increased Na and Ca currents causing prolongation of action potentials and increased incidence of early after depolarizations."
reach
"CACNA1C, a calcium channel gene, mediates the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and is also involved in a variety of calcium dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone and neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death."
reach
"The correlation between the relative amount of CACNA1C and the rate of pressure generation is logical as CACNA1C initiates the calcium current into the cytosol and causes the RyR-2 to release calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytosol, which finally leads to contraction."
reach
"In previous simulation studies, it has been shown that changes in I CaL due to gain-of-function mutations in CACNA1C prolongs action potential duration linked to early afterdepolarizations, and increases SR calcium content which is then responsible for spontaneous calcium release and delayed afterdepolarizations."
reach
"Cav1.2 and Cav1.3 in the L-type voltage-gated Ca channels are associated with PD [27] and Cav1.2 is prevalent in juvenile SNc (Substantia Nigra) DA neurons, but in senescent SNc DA neurons, Cav1.3 is preferentially used for Ca inflow, allowing Ca to enter through an oscillatory pathway that contributes to the membrane potential threshold, which is the basis of autonomous pacing [28]."
reach
"This gene encodes an alpha-1 subunit of the voltage-gated L-type calcium channel (Cav1.2), which mediates the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization and plays a role in dendritic development, neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and memory/learning (36)."
