关于 CACNG8

功能概要

该基因编码的蛋白质是 I 型跨膜 AMPA 受体调节蛋白 (TARP) 。 TARP 调节 AMPA 受体的运输和通道门控。该基因是 PMP-22/EMP/MP20 家族功能多样的八成员蛋白质亚家族的一部分，位于具有两个家族成员 (II 型 TARP 和钙通道伽马亚基) 的簇中。据信该基因的 mRNA 从非 AUG (CUG) 起始密码子开始翻译。[RefSeq 提供，2010 年 12 月]

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane AMPA Receptor regulatory protein (TARP). TARPs regulate both trafficking and channel gating of the AMPA receptors. This gene is part of a functionally diverse eight-member protein subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family and is located in a cluster with two family members, a type II TARP and a Calcium Channel gamma subunit. The mRNA for this gene is believed to initiate translation from a non-AUG (CUG) start codon. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
