Brain
The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.
See Cav2.1 and Brain
CACNB4
Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel subunit beta-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CACNB4 gene. Cav2.1 and CACNB4 are ion channels.
Cerebellum
The cerebellum (cerebella or cerebellums; Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a group of non-communicable neurological disorders characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures.
Episodic ataxia
Episodic ataxia (EA) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by sporadic bouts of ataxia (severe discoordination) with or without myokymia (continuous muscle movement).
See Cav2.1 and Episodic ataxia
Familial hemiplegic migraine
Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is an autosomal dominant type of hemiplegic migraine that typically includes weakness of half the body which can last for hours, days, or weeks.
See Cav2.1 and Familial hemiplegic migraine
National Center for Biotechnology Information
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is part of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
See Cav2.1 and National Center for Biotechnology Information
Neuron
A neuron, neurone, or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system.
Neurotransmitter
A neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.
See Cav2.1 and Neurotransmitter
P-type calcium channel
The P-type calcium channel is a type of voltage-dependent calcium channel. Cav2.1 and p-type calcium channel are genes on human chromosome 19 and ion channels.
See Cav2.1 and P-type calcium channel
Polyglutamine tract
A polyglutamine tract or polyQ tract is a portion of a protein consisting of a sequence of several glutamine units.
See Cav2.1 and Polyglutamine tract
Protein isoform
A protein isoform, or "protein variant", is a member of a set of highly similar proteins that originate from a single gene or gene family and are the result of genetic differences.
See Cav2.1 and Protein isoform
Protein–protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are physical contacts of high specificity established between two or more protein molecules as a result of biochemical events steered by interactions that include electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding and the hydrophobic effect.
See Cav2.1 and Protein–protein interaction
Q-type calcium channel
The Q-type calcium channel is a type of voltage-dependent calcium channel. Cav2.1 and q-type calcium channel are genes on human chromosome 19 and ion channels.
See Cav2.1 and Q-type calcium channel
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) is a rare, late-onset, autosomal dominant disorder, which, like other types of SCA, is characterized by dysarthria, oculomotor disorders, peripheral neuropathy, and ataxia of the gait, stance, and limbs due to cerebellar dysfunction.
See Cav2.1 and Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6
Voltage-gated calcium channel
Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), also known as voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g., muscle, glial cells, neurons, etc.) with a permeability to the calcium ion Ca2+.
See Cav2.1 and Voltage-gated calcium channel
