DiseaseProgressive familial heart block 1B (PFHB1B) [MIM:604559]: A cardiac bundle branch disorder characterized by progressive alteration of cardiac conduction through the His- Purkinje system, with a pattern of a right bundle-branch block and/or left anterior hemiblock occurring individually or together. It leads to complete atrio-ventricular block causing syncope and sudden death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19726882, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20562447, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21887725}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Enzyme RegulationGating is voltage-dependent and repressed by decavanadate. Calmodulin-binding confers the Ca(2+) sensitivity. ATP is able to restore Ca(2+) sensitivity after desensitization. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-binding strongly enhances activity, by increasing the channel's Ca(2+) sensitivity and shifting its voltage dependence of activation towards negative potentials. Activity is also enhanced by 3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole derivative (BTP2). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14758478, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15331675, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16186107, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16407466, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16424899}.
FunctionCalcium-activated non selective (CAN) cation channel that mediates membrane depolarization. While it is activated by increase in intracellular Ca(2+), it is impermeable to it. Mediates transport of monovalent cations (Na(+) > K(+) > Cs(+) > Li(+)), leading to depolarize the membrane. It thereby plays a central role in cadiomyocytes, neurons from entorhinal cortex, dorsal root and vomeronasal neurons, endocrine pancreas cells, kidney epithelial cells, cochlea hair cells etc. Participates in T-cell activation by modulating Ca(2+) oscillations after T lymphocyte activation, which is required for NFAT-dependent IL2 production. Involved in myogenic constriction of cerebral arteries. Controls insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells. May also be involved in pacemaking or could cause irregular electrical activity under conditions of Ca(2+) overload. Affects T-helper 1 (Th1) and T-helper 2 (Th2) cell motility and cytokine production through differential regulation of calcium signaling and NFATC1 localization. Enhances cell proliferation through up-regulation of the beta-catenin signaling pathway. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12015988, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12799367, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15121803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15472118, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15550671, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16806463, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20625999, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20656926}.
