CACNA2D1

A gene on chromosome7q21-q22 that encodes the alpha-2D1 subunit of a voltage-dependent calcium channel, which regulates calcium current density and activation/inactivation kinetics of the calcium channel, and which plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling.

Instead, this glaucoma-like phenotype seems to be regulated primarily by other genes such as the calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta1 (Cacna2d1) which has broader relevance for POAG [125].
