The N-type calcium channel is a type of voltage-dependent calcium channel. As with other sub-types of voltage-gated calcium channel the α1 subunit forms the pore through which calcium enters the cell and determines most of the channel’s properties. The α1 subunit is also known as the calcium channel voltage-dependent N type alpha 1B subunit (CACNA1B) or Cav2.2 which in humans is encoded by the CACNA1B gene.
