Calcium channel β subunits regulate voltage-dependent calcium currents through direct interaction with α1 subunits. CACNB1 is a target of miRNA-328. In mouse model, CACNB1 is involved in gene expression in muscle progenitor cells and regulates skeletal muscle mass during embryonic development by suppressing myogenin.
