Primary Identifier | MGI:96226 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 15464 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATPase binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion homeostasis and regulation of heart contraction. Located in sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human HRC (histidine rich calcium binding protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in impaired weight gain and weight loss around 1 year of age and increased susceptibility to induced cardiac hypertrophy.
