function:The beta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels contributes to the function of the calcium channel by increasing peak calcium current, shifting the voltage dependencies of activation and inactivation, modulating G protein inhibition and controlling the alpha-1 subunit membrane targeting.,similarity:Belongs to the calcium channel beta subunit family.,similarity:Contains 1 SH3 domain.,subunit:The L-type calcium channel is composed of four subunits: alpha-1, alpha-2, beta and gamma. Interacts with JSRP1.,tissue specificity:Expressed in brain, heart and spleen (isoform 1 and 3) and in skeletal muscle (isoform 2).,

Detected in heart ventricle (at protein level) (PubMed:15615847). Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are expressed in brain, heart, spleen, central nervous system and neuroblastoma cells. Isoform 2 is expressed in skeletal muscle.
