Gene: CACNB3

Alternate names for this Gene: CAB3|CACNLB3

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a regulatory beta subunit of the voltage-dependent calcium channel. Beta subunits are composed of five domains, which contribute to the regulation of surface expression and gating of calcium channels and may also play a role in the regulation of transcription factors and calcium transport.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q13.12

Description of this Gene: calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit beta 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
