Gene Name CACNB1
Uniprot ID CACB1_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:782
Protein Family Calcium channel beta subunit family
Protein Function
Regulatory subunit of L-type calcium channels (PubMed:1309651, PubMed:8107964, PubMed:15615847). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1A as pore-forming subunit (By similarity). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1C as pore-forming subunit and increases the presence of the channel complex at the cell membrane (PubMed:15615847). Required for functional expression L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1D as pore-forming subunit (PubMed:1309651). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1B as pore-forming subunit (PubMed:8107964).

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Amifostine and Levamlodipine 

Recommended Action
      Management If medically feasible, antihypertensive medications should be interrupted 24 hours prior to amifostine administration. Blood pressure should be closely monitored during and after treatment. In addition to hypotension, transient hypertension or exacerbation of preexisting hypertension may occur from intravenous hydration, discontinuation of antihypertensive medications, or other causes. Patients who continue their hypotensive medication(s) during amifostine therapy should be carefully monitored for the development of hypotension.
