| Function | The alpha-2/delta subunit of voltage-dependent calcium channels regulates calcium current density and activation/inactivation kinetics of the calcium channel. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12181424}. |
| Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in certain types of endocrine cells. Present in the Paneth cells of the small intestine. Also present in the erythroblasts in the fetal liver, in the cells of the zona reticularis of the adrenal gland and in the basophils of the pituitary. Present at low level in some brain regions such as the cerebellum (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12181424}. |
