Proteolytic maturation of α2δ represents a checkpoint for activation and neuronal trafficking of latent calcium channels

The auxiliary α2δ subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels are extracellular membrane-associated proteins, which are post-translationally cleaved into disulfide-linked polypeptides α2 and δ. We now show, using α2δ constructs containing artificial cleavage sites, that this processing is an essentia...
