The complete amino acid sequence of the L-type calcium channel alpha 1 subunit from the carp (Cyprinus carpio) white skeletal muscle was deduced by cDNA cloning and sequence analysis. The open reading frame encodes 1852 amino acids (Mr 210,060). A 155-amino acid COOH-terminal sequence (after the fourth internal repeat) is evolutionarily preserved (90% homology) and may represent an important functional domain of L-type calcium channels. The photolabeled, membrane-bound, and purified carp alpha 1 ...[more]
