UniProt Protein Function: | CACNG8: Regulates the trafficking and gating properties of AMPA- selective glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Promotes their targeting to the cell membrane and synapses and modulates their gating properties by slowing their rates of activation, deactivation and desensitization and by mediating their resensitization. Does not show subunit-specific AMPA receptor regulation and regulates all AMPAR subunits. Thought to stabilize the calcium channel in an inactivated (closed) state. Belongs to the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family. CACNG subfamily.Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integral; Channel, calciumChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.4Cellular Component: plasma membrane; postsynaptic densityMolecular Function: channel regulator activity; voltage-gated calcium channel activityBiological Process: transmission of nerve impulse |

NCBI Summary: | 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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010] |
