Protein
Voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-7 subunit
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
Function
Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1C as pore-forming subunit (By similarity). Regulates the trafficking and gating properties of AMPA-selective glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Promotes their targeting to the cell membrane and synapses and modulates their gating properties by slowing their rates of activation, deactivation and desensitization and by mediating their resensitization (PubMed:18817736, PubMed:19234459). Shows specificity only for GRIA1 and GRIA2 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family. CACNG subfamily.
