Structured_description | Concise_description | unc-2 encodes a calcium channel alpha subunit similar to the human P/Q-type calcium channel, CACNA1A; unc-2 is required for desensitization to dopamine, normal movement, normally low sensitivity of whole animals to serotonin, and neuronal migrations; unc-2 interacts with the TGF beta pathway to regulate movement, and maintain normal serotonin levels; unc-2/TGF beta pathway is also required for the stress-induced modulation of tryptophan hydroxylase/tph-1 expression in the serotonergic chemosensory ADF neurons (but not the NSM neurons); UNC-2 is expressed primarily in motor neurons, several sensory neurons, and the HSN and VC neurons controlling egg-laying. | Paper_evidence | WBPaper00002168 | |||||

Automated_description | Predicted to enable high voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of left/right asymmetry in nervous system; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and response to heat. Located in presynaptic active zone membrane. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; excretory canal; nerve ring; neurons; and pharyngeal muscle cell. Used to study migraine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune disease of the nervous system (multiple); brain disease (multiple); and episodic ataxia type 2. Is an ortholog of human CACNA1B (calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 B). | Paper_evidence | WBPaper00065943 | ||||||

Disease_relevance | Mutations in the human calcium channel CACNA1A (Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, P/Q type, alpha-1A subunit) are associated with Episodic ataxia (type 2), which affects the nervous system, resulting in migraines, vision and speech defects, and muscle weakness; mutations in CACNA1A also cause Spinocerebellar ataxia (type 6), a progressive movement disorder; voltage dependent calcium channels mediate calcium entry into cells and are involved in several calcium dependent processes; genetic studies in elegans show that unc-2, the ortholog of CACNA1A, negatively modulates a transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta pathway to affect certain phenotypes like movement, and for the normal accumulation of serotonin levels; further, unc-2 dependent inhibition of the TGF-beta pathway regulates the transcriptional expression of trytophan hydroxylase (tph-1) in serotonergic neurons under stress conditions like starvation and raised temperature; a construct expressing human CACNA1A can substitute for unc-2 function in elegans. | Homo sapiens | Paper_evidence | WBPaper00006272 | |||||
