[5][6] This gene encodes a member of the beta subunit family, a protein in the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex.
Various versions of each of these subunits exist, either expressed from similar genes or the result of alternative splicing.
The protein described in this record plays an important role in calcium channel function by modulating G protein inhibition, increasing peak calcium current, controlling the alpha-1 subunit membrane targeting and shifting the voltage dependence of activation and inactivation.
