Summary: 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, Nov 2024]

The novel finding of cone-to-rod-bipolar cell contacts in this mouse model of a retinal channelopathy may challenge current views of the role of Cacna1f in photopic vision, it also suggests a potential new target for restorative therapy.

No cone ERGs could be detected from residual cones, in which S-opsins abnormally migrated to inner segments of the photoreceptors. The mutations of the Cacna1f gene in nob9 mice involved both a single nucleotide G to A transition and a 10-nucleotide insertion, the latter resulting in a frame-shift mutation in exon 14.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
