Scientific Background: Cav Beat subunits are involved in the transport of the pore forming alpha1 subunit to the plasma membrane (1). They also shield an ER Retention signal on the alpha1 subunit, thereby guiding the pore-forming subunit to the target membrane (2, 3). They also determine the biophysical properties of the calcium channel (3).
