Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, T type, alpha 1I subunit
Gene Summary
Voltage-dependent calcium channels control the rapid entry of Ca(2+) into a variety of cell types and are therefore involved in both electrical and cellular signaling. T-type channels, such as CACNA1I, are activated by small membrane depolarizations and can generate burst firing and pacemaker activity.Voltage-dependent calcium channels control the rapid entry of Ca(2+) into a variety of cell types and are therefore involved in both electrical and cellular signaling.
