T-type voltage-gated calcium channel 3.1 (Cav3.1)

Target
Cav3.1
Molecular classification
Ion channel, Voltage-gated calcium channel, T-type calcium channel
01

Overview

Cav3.1 is a low-voltage activated calcium channel essential for regulating electrical excitability across several organ systems—including brain circuits underlying cognition/memory formation, immune cell signaling, cardiac rhythm generation, vascular tone, and more—making it an attractive target for therapeutic intervention across neurological, cardiovascular, renal, immunological disorders.

Other names
CACNA1Gα1G subunit
