| UniProt functional annotation for P91645 | |||
| UniProt code: P91645. |
| Organism: | Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora. | |
| Function: | Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death (By similarity). Probably encodes a dihydropyridine- insensitive current. Vital for survival to adulthood. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O00555, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28742085, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8987815, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9649530}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed widely in the embryonic nervous system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8987815}. | |
| Developmental stage: | Expression peaks in the first larval instar, midpupal, and late pupal stages. In late-stage embryos, it is expressed preferentially in the nervous system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8987815}. | |
| Domain: | Each of the four internal repeats contains five hydrophobic transmembrane segments (S1, S2, S3, S5, S6) and one positively charged transmembrane segment (S4). S4 segments probably represent the voltage- sensor and are characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position. | |
| Rna editing: | Modified_positions=Undetermined; Note=Partially edited. 11 sites are edited by Adar. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10966106}; | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform E]: Has exons IS4B and I/IIA. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform A]: Has exons IS4B and I/IIA. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform B]: Has exons IS4A and I/IIA. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform C]: Has exons IS4B and I/IIB. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform D]: Has exons IS4A and I/IIB. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform F]: Has exons IS4A and I/IIB. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the calcium channel alpha-1 subunit (TC 1.A.1.11) family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
