Calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit beta 2 (CACNB2) is a part of voltage-gated calcium channel gene superfamily and encodes Cavβ2 subunit. In human chromosome, the gene CACNB2 is localized on 10p12.33-p12.31.

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human CACNB2

CACNB2 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. Defects in CACNB2 are the cause of Brugada syndrome type 4 (BRS4). CACNB2 is associated with systolic blood pressure and hypertension. Downregulation of CACNB2 expression leads to atrial fibrillation. Mutations in CACNB2 causes dysregulation of calcium levels in cells leading to autism spectrum disorder. Single nucleotide polymorphism in CACNB2 gene is associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
