General description

Voltage-dependent T-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1G or Voltage-gated calcium channel subunit alpha Cav3.1, like other members of the voltage-sensitive calcium channel (VSCC) family, mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells. These channels regulate and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1G gives rise to T-type calcium currents. T-type calcium channels belong to the "low-voltage activated (LVA)" group and are strongly blocked by mibefradil. T-type channels serve pacemaking functions in both central neurons and cardiac nodal cells and also support calcium signaling in secretory cells and vascular smooth muscle.

Specificity

Other homologies: Human (80% sequence homology).

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse Cav3.1.

Application

Leptin regulates hypothalamic POMC+ (pro-opiomelanocortin) neurons by inducing TRPC (Transient Receptor Potential Cation) channel-mediate membrane depolarization. The role of TRPC channels in POMC neuron excitability is clearly established; however, it remains unknown whether their activity alone is sufficient to trigger

Neuronal phenotypes are controlled by terminal selector transcription factors in invertebrates, but only a few examples of such regulators have been provided in vertebrates. We hypothesised that TCF7L2 regulates different stages of postmitotic differentiation in the thalamus, and functions as
