Why
Understanding the tissue-specific isoforms of CACNA1C is important for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of psychiatric disorder associations and for developing targeted treatments.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
The identification of brain-enriched CACNA1C isoforms offers the potential for designing drugs that preferentially target CaV1.2 channels for psychiatric indications.
