Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Calcium Channel Auxiliary Subunit:** The CACNG4 gene encodes a gamma subunit of calcium voltage-gated channels, which are essential for the regulation of calcium influx into cells. 2. **Regulation of Neuronal Excitability:** The CACNG4 gene is involved in modulating neuronal excitability, particularly in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, where it regulates the amplitude and frequency of action potentials. 3. **Synaptic Plasticity:** The CACNG4 gene is also implicated in synaptic plasticity, a process critical for learning and memory. It interacts with AMPA receptors to regulate synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation. 4. **Muscle Contraction:** The CACNG4 gene is expressed in muscle cells, where it contributes to the regulation of muscle contraction and relaxation. 5. **Conservation Across Species:** The CACNG4 gene is conserved across species, from humans to mice, highlighting its essential role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Ampa Glutamate Receptor Complex:** The CACNG4 gene interacts with AMPA receptors to regulate synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation. 2. **Calcium Channel Regulator Activity:** The CACNG4 gene modulates calcium influx into cells, influencing neuronal excitability and muscle contraction. 3. **Cardiac Conduction:** The CACNG4 gene is involved in regulating cardiac conduction, particularly in the sinoatrial node, where it influences the generation of cardiac impulses. 4. **Neurotransmitter Receptor Internalization:** The CACNG4 gene is involved in the internalization of neurotransmitter receptors, regulating synaptic transmission and plasticity. 5. **Muscle Contraction:** The CACNG4 gene contributes to the regulation of muscle contraction and relaxation, particularly in skeletal muscle cells. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Neurological Disorders:** The CACNG4 gene has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. 2. **Muscular Dystrophy:** Mutations in the CACNG4 gene have been associated with muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. 3. **Cancer:** The CACNG4 gene has been implicated in cancer development and progression, particularly in glioblastoma and breast cancer. 4. **Cardiovascular Disease:** The CACNG4 gene is involved in regulating cardiac conduction, and its dysfunction may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. In conclusion, the CACNG4 gene plays a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity, and muscle contraction. Its involvement in multiple signaling pathways and its conservation across species highlight its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the functions and clinical significance of the CACNG4 gene.
