Description

Transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein (TARP) γ2, also known as voltage-dependent calcium channel γ2 (CACNG2), MRD10, and stargazin, is a subunit of L-type calcium channels that stabilizes inactive (closed state) calcium channels. Stargazin has an essential role in learning due its role in AMPAR transport.

Encoded by CACNG2 gene, TARP γ2 (Stargazin), a 36-kD protein, is a brain-specific transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein that modulates the trafficking and ion channel kinetics of glutamate AMPA receptors. It is also a putative subunit of neuronal voltage-gated calcium channels. Six TARP isoforms, γ-2 (stargazin), γ-3, γ-4, γ-5, γ-7, and γ-8, have distinct though partially overlapping patterns of expression in the central nervous system (CNS). Stargazin not only mediates AMPA receptor trafficking, but also shapes synaptic responses by slowing channeling deactivation and desensitization. It alters AMPA receptor kinetics by increasing the rate of channel opening. Disrupting the interaction of stargazin ectodomain with hippocampal AMPA receptors alters the shape of synaptic responses, which establishes a crucial function for stargazin in controlling the efficacy of synaptic transmission in the brain.
