About Cacna1s

Summary

Enables voltage-gated Calcium Channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including extraocular skeletal muscle development; myotube differentiation; and skeletal muscle adaptation. Located in T-tubule and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and skeletal musculature. Used to study hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypokalemic periodic paralysis and malignant hyperthermia. Orthologous to human CACNA1S (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 S). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
