| [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CAC1C_HUMAN CAC1C_HUMAN] Defects in CACNA1C are the cause of Timothy syndrome (TS) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/601005 601005]. TS is a disorder characterized by multiorgan dysfunction including lethal arrhythmias, webbing of fingers and toes, congenital heart disease, immune deficiency, intermittent hypoglycemia, cognitive abnormalities and autism.<ref>PMID:15454078</ref> <ref>PMID:15863612</ref> Defects in CACNA1C are the cause of Brugada syndrome type 3 (BRGDA3) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/611875 611875]. A heart disease characterized by the association of Brugada syndrome with shortened QT intervals. Brugada syndrome is a tachyarrhythmia characterized by right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It can cause the ventricles to beat so fast that the blood is prevented from circulating efficiently in the body. When this situation occurs (called ventricular fibrillation), the individual will faint and may die in a few minutes if the heart is not reset.<ref>PMID:17224476</ref> | | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CA2D1_HUMAN CA2D1_HUMAN] Familial short QT syndrome;Non-specific early-onset epileptic encephalopathy;Brugada syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |

| [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CAC1C_HUMAN CAC1C_HUMAN] Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1C gives rise to L-type calcium currents. Long-lasting (L-type) calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group. They are blocked by dihydropyridines (DHP), phenylalkylamines, benzothiazepines, and by omega-agatoxin-IIIA (omega-Aga-IIIA). They are however insensitive to omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CTx-GVIA) and omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA). Calcium channels containing the alpha-1C subunit play an important role in excitation-contraction coupling in the heart. The various isoforms display marked differences in the sensitivity to DHP compounds. Binding of calmodulin or CABP1 at the same regulatory sites results in an opposit effects on the channel function.<ref>PMID:8392192</ref> <ref>PMID:7737988</ref> <ref>PMID:9013606</ref> <ref>PMID:9607315</ref> <ref>PMID:12176756</ref> <ref>PMID:17071743</ref> | | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CA2D1_HUMAN CA2D1_HUMAN] The alpha-2/delta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels regulates calcium current density and activation/inactivation kinetics of the calcium channel (PubMed:35293990).
