Cacnb1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; phosphoprotein binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Contributes to voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium ion transport; cellular response to amyloid-beta; and regulation of calcium ion transmembrane transport via high voltage-gated calcium channel. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein targeting to membrane. Part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Orthologous to human CACNB1 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit beta 1). [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 rat Cacnb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
