Scientific Background: CaV3.2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CACNA1H gene. Studies suggest certain mutations in this gene lead to childhood absence epilepsy (1, 2). Studies also suggest that the up-regulations of CaV3.2 may participate in the progression of prostate cancer toward an androgen-independent stage (3).
