Enables calcium channel activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in calcium ion homeostasis; calcium ion import across plasma membrane; and response to calcium ion. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion transport and parathyroid hormone secretion. Part of calcium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; placenta; sensory organ; and submandibular gland primordium.
