Summary: This gene encodes a regulatory component of the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex. The product of this gene is a proprotein that is proteolytically processed into alpha-2 and delta subunits, which are linked by a disulfide bond. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
