Gene Description

CACNA1D encodes the pore-forming alpha1D subunit of CaV1.3, an L-type voltage-gated calcium channel. Calcium entry through the channel couples membrane depolarization to electrical and secretory responses. Its relatively negative activation range within the L-type family supports sinoatrial pacemaking and calcium-dependent neurotransmitter release from cochlear inner hair cells, with additional functions in neurons and endocrine cells. Beta and alpha2delta subunits regulate channel expression and gating, and intracellular partners organize local signaling. C-terminal alternative splicing changes activation and calcium-dependent inactivation. Loss-of-function variants can impair hearing and sinoatrial-node function, whereas activating variants can perturb adrenal and neuronal calcium signaling.

MODIFY
Summary: The broad channel-domain inference can be refined to established L-type calcium-channel activity.
Reason: Human alpha1D expression and voltage-clamp recordings identify the calcium-selective, voltage-gated channel. The official GO:0008331 scope includes L-type channels. CaV1.3 activation at relatively negative potentials within this family does not make it a T-type channel. This refinement uses a term already in the source set.

Summary: Human neuronal alpha1D supports voltage-gated calcium currents.
Reason: The complete abstract describes human alpha1D with alpha2delta1 and beta3a in HEK293 cells, including calcium- and barium-current measurements, voltage dependence and dihydropyridine pharmacology. Failure of several Gi/o-linked pathways to modulate this preparation is a condition-specific regulatory result, not failure of channel function.

ACCEPT
Summary: WT and nonconducting human SANDD channels establish the calcium-channel function.
Reason: The complete PMID:21131953 abstract identifies the pore-forming alpha1D subunit and a glycine insertion that yields nonconducting channels with abnormal voltage-dependent gating. The normal function is established through the expressed channel comparison; the pathogenic mutant is not treated as the normal protein. Full Methods and figures were unavailable in the canonical cache.

Summary: The conserved channel-domain annotation agrees with direct human channel assays.
Reason: The InterPro inference is independently corroborated by human alpha1D functional expression. Original domain sources are preserved without claiming that their mapping implementation was re-created.

ACCEPT
Summary: Human WT and adrenal-disease-associated mutant channels directly support channel activity.
Reason: Selected complete primary Results and Methods describe human CACNA1D WT and pore-region variants coexpressed with beta2a and alpha2delta1 in HEK293T cells. Mutations shift activation and alter inactivation; current-density effects differ among variants. Increased calcium influx in adrenal disease is mechanistically interpreted from these assays, not an aldosterone-synthetic activity of alpha1D.

Summary: The human channel conducts calcium and is altered by A749G and G407R.
Reason: The complete abstract and selected Methods/Results describe human long-C-terminal alpha1D in tsA-201 cells with calcium as charge carrier. A749G shifts gating and increases peak current, whereas G407R can reduce peak amplitude while greatly prolonging current. The two effects support calcium-channel activity without collapsing all gain-of-function mechanisms into increased peak current.

ACCEPT
Summary: WT and V401L splice-variant recordings substantiate calcium-channel activity.
Reason: The inspected Methods/Results compare human long and short 43s channel constructs in tsA-201 cells. V401L increases calcium entry through gating and inactivation changes that depend on splice context. The short 43s construct is not automatically equated with the separately named 42A product. Clinical risk interpretation is kept separate from the measured channel activity.

Summary: Cav1.3 binds Shank SH3 domains through a channel-derived region; the curated source specifies SHANK3-1.
Reason: PMID:30058071 directly describes binding between Shank SH3 domains and a Cav1.3 region containing a cluster of arginine residues. This supports SH3 domain binding rather than only generic protein binding. The exact human CACNA1D–SHANK3-1 edge is also retained in the UniProt IntAct list. The complete abstract and publisher supplementary-information descriptions were read, but the full main text and underlying figures were not accessible/read. Preserve Q9BYB0-1 as the curated partner; do not infer that this interaction is unique to that isoform or that the isolated-domain experiment establishes a native full-channel scaffold complex.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: The broad muscle-contraction role is retained in its cardiac excitation context.
Reason: The ARBA process is compatible with CaV1.3-dependent pacemaker and atrial electrical activity that organizes cardiac contraction. Human SANDD and mouse atrial channel studies support this context, but alpha1D is not generalized to the dominant ventricular or skeletal excitation-contraction channel.

Summary: Cell communication is a broad consequence of the channel's electrical and secretory roles.
Reason: Calcium entry through CaV1.3 couples depolarization to auditory neurotransmitter release and endocrine secretion. Retain this broad existing inference outside the more informative channel core rather than treating it as a distinct signaling enzyme.

UNDECIDED
Summary: The precise adenylate-cyclase-modulating GPCR pathway assertion remains unresolved.
Reason: The mouse Q99246-based ISS record is preserved, but the donor experiment establishing this pathway was not inspected. PMID:11160515 reports lack of modulation by selected Gi/o-linked receptors in a human heterologous preparation; this neither demonstrates every possible GPCR pathway nor disproves a distinct native signaling context. A calcium-channel current alone does not identify the direction or cyclase component of the asserted pathway.

Reason: The complete PMID:21131953 abstract explicitly links sound-induced hair-cell depolarization to neurotransmitter release through CaV1.3 and reports human deafness with a nonconducting channel variant.

Core Functions

CaV1.3 couples membrane depolarization to calcium entry through the alpha1D pore. Relatively negative activation within the L-type family supports sinoatrial pacemaker depolarization and calcium-triggered transmitter release from cochlear inner hair cells. Auxiliary subunits, calmodulin and C-terminal splice variation tune this same channel unit. Human channel reconstitution and SANDD electrophysiology complement native mouse and clinical evidence for these tissue roles.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which donor experiments resolve positive adenylate-cyclase regulation and the specific GPCR pathway, distinguishing calcium-to-cAMP feedback from cAMP-dependent modulation of the channel?

Q: Which native tissues and splice products support the precise Z-disc, T-tubule and synaptic-ribbon assignments, as distinct from nearby plasma-membrane channel pools?

Q: How do the four named human products and additional C-terminal splice variants partition channel gating and partner binding among auditory, pacemaker, neuronal and endocrine cells?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Compare defined human CaV1.3 splice products in matched pacemaker and sensory-cell models, measuring surface abundance, calcium-dependent and voltage-dependent inactivation, and coupled secretion with validated endogenous localization controls.
