Cacng6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium channel regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of calcium ion transmembrane transport via high voltage-gated calcium channel. Predicted to be part of L-type voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; heart; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aspirin-induced respiratory disease. Orthologous to human CACNG6 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit gamma 6).

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 Cacng6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
