A CACNA1A variant associated with trigeminal neuralgia alters the gating of Cav2.1 channels

Abstract A novel missense mutation in the CACNA1A gene that encodes the pore forming α1 subunit of the CaV2.1 voltage-gated calcium channel was identified in a patient with trigeminal neuralgia. This mutation leads to a substitution of proline 2455 by histidine (P2455H) in the distal C-terminus regi...
