Cacna1f Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; neuron projection morphogenesis; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in membrane; perikaryon; and photoreceptor outer segment. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is expressed in cerebellum and hippocampus. Used to study congenital stationary night blindness 2A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Aland Island eye disease; X-linked cone-rod dystrophy 3; congenital stationary night blindness; and congenital stationary night blindness 2A. Orthologous to human CACNA1F (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 F). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cacna1f often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
