Description
Enables high voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within neuromuscular synaptic transmission; swimming behavior; and thigmotaxis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated calcium channel complex. Predicted to be active in neuronal cell body. Is expressed in Rohon-Beard neurons; atrium; cardiac ventricle; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease (multiple) and episodic ataxia type 2. Orthologous to human CACNA1A (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 A).
