Affinity-purified, polyclonal antibodies to the gamma subunit of the dihydropyridine (DHP)-sensitive, voltage-dependent calcium channel have been used to isolate complementary DNAs to the rabbit skeletal muscle protein from an expression library. The deduced primary structure indicates that the gamma subunit is a 25,058-dalton protein that contains four transmembrane domains and two N-linked glycosylation sites, consistent with biochemical analyses showing that the gamma subunit is a glycosylated hydrophobic protein. Nucleic acid hybridization studies indicate that there is a 1200-nucleotide transcript in skeletal muscle but not in brain or heart. The gamma subunit may play a role in assembly, modulation, or the structure of the skeletal muscle calcium channel.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
