Gene Symbol:

CACNG8 Homo sapiens

Full name:

calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 8

Synonyms:

voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-8 subunit, TARP gamma-8, calcium channel, voltage-dependent, gamma subunit 8, neuronal voltage-gated calcium channel gamma-8 subunit, transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein gamma-8

Genomic Location:

Chr 19: 59158106-59177951

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP). TARPs regulate both trafficking and channel gating of the AMPA receptors. This gene is part of a functionally diverse eight-member protein subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family and is located in a cluster with two family members, a type II TARP and...

View Full Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP). TARPs regulate both trafficking and channel gating of the AMPA receptors. This gene is part of a functionally diverse eight-member protein subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family and is located in a cluster with two family members, a type II TARP and a calcium channel gamma subunit. The mRNA for this gene is believed to initiate translation from a non-AUG (CUG) start codon.
