Abstract—Voltage-activated Ca2+ channels exist as multigene families that share common structural features. Different Ca2+ channels are distinguished by their electrophysiology and pharmacology and can be classified as either low or high voltage–activated channels. Six {alpha}1 subunit genes cloned previously code for high voltage–activated Ca2+ channels; therefore, we have used a database search strategy to identify new Ca2+ channel genes, possibly including low voltage–activated (T-type) channels. A novel expressed sequence–tagged cDNA clone of {alpha}1G was used to screen a cDNA library, and in the present study, we report the cloning of {alpha}1H (or CavT.2), a low voltage–activated Ca2+ channel from human heart. Northern blots of human mRNA detected more {alpha}1H expression in peripheral tissues, such as kidney and heart, than in brain. We mapped the gene, CACNA1H, to human chromosome 16p13.3 and mouse chromosome 17. Expression of {alpha}1H in HEK-293 cells resulted in Ca2+ channel currents displaying voltage dependence, kinetics, and unitary conductance characteristic of native T-type Ca2+ channels. The {alpha}1H channel is sensitive to mibefradil, a nondihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blocker, with an IC50 of 1.4 µmol/L, consistent with the reported potency of mibefradil for T-type Ca2+ channels. Together with {alpha}1G, a rat brain T-type Ca2+ channel also cloned in our laboratory, these genes define a unique family of Ca2+ channels.


Key Words: T-type Ca2+ channel • {alpha}1 subunit • cloning • mibefradil
