Activity summary

The Sigma1-receptor is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 25 kDa. This receptor found in the endoplasmic reticulum exhibits widespread expression in several tissues including the central nervous system and heart. The Sigma1-receptor does not resemble classic opioid receptors and displays unique binding characteristics. Its roles involve mediating signal transduction through physical interaction with other proteins.

Biological function summary

The Sigma1-receptor influences neurotransmitter release cellular survival and neuroplasticity. It acts as a chaperone protein interacting with ion channels and receptors to modulate their activity. The receptor forms dynamic complexes with various cellular components impacting calcium signaling and neuronal adaptation processes. It is also involved in regulating cellular stress responses.

Pathways

The Sigma1-receptor plays a significant role in the cellular stress response and calcium signaling pathways. It interacts closely with proteins such as the NMDA receptor and IP3 receptor within these pathways affecting intracellular calcium levels and cell survival. Through these interactions the Sigma1-receptor modulates synaptic plasticity and neuroprotection important in signal transduction processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

The Sigma1-receptor has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease and psychiatric disorders such as depression. Its modulation of calcium homeostasis and cellular stress is critical in these conditions. Disorders related to NMDA receptor dysfunction often implicate the Sigma1-receptor highlighting its therapeutic potential in managing synaptic and neuroprotective processes.
