    Summary
    Predicted to enable voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including bulk synaptic vesicle endocytosis; detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; and negative regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. Located in presynaptic active zone. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain; adult head; adult optic lobe; embryonic/larval salivary gland; and ganglia. Used to study heart conduction disease. Orthologous to human CACNA2D3 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
