The voltage-dependent N-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1B is a
protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residue (biochemistry), residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including Enzyme catalysis, catalysing metab ...
that in humans is encoded by the CACNA1B
gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity. The molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protei ...
.
The α1B protein, together with β and α2δ subunits forms N-type calcium channel (Ca
v2.2 channel).
It is a
R-type calcium channel.
