Abstract

Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (CaV1/2) are multi-subunit proteins that serve as primary portals for Ca2+ influx into cardiomyocytes and neurons, that is responsible for excitation-contraction coupling, vesicle secretion, and activity-dependent gene transcription. The CaVβ1-4 subunits are powerful CaV1/2 modulators that tune channel inactivation, gating, and trafficking. Amongst various β subunits, the β2A is unique in that it is subject to post-translational modification by palmitoylation that in turn slows CaV channel inactivation.
