CACNA1C activates calcium(2+). 25 / 25

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
"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."
