Voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-5 subunit

UniProt Q9UF02 Organism Homo sapiens Gene CACNG5

Also known as: CACNG5

Function

Regulates the gating properties of AMPA-selective glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Modulates their gating properties by accelerating their rates of activation, deactivation and desensitization. Displays subunit-specific AMPA receptor regulation. Shows specificity for GRIA1, GRIA4 and the long isoform of GRIA2. Thought to stabilize the calcium channel in an inactivated (closed) state (By similarity).
