Gene: CACNB2
Alternate names for this Gene: CAB2|CACNLB2|CAVB2|MYSB
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a subunit of a voltage-dependent calcium channel protein that is a member of the voltage-gated calcium channel superfamily. The gene product was originally identified as an antigen target in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. Mutations in this gene are associated with Brugada syndrome. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10p12.33-p12.31
Description of this Gene: calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit beta 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
