ITPR3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3

Gene ID: 3710, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IP3R; CMT1J; IP3R3

Summary

This gene encodes a receptor for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, a second messenger that mediates the release of intracellular calcium. The receptor contains a calcium channel at the C-terminus and the ligand-binding site at the N-terminus. Knockout studies in mice suggest that type 2 and type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors play a key role in exocrine secretion underlying energy metabolism and growth.
