Domain

Composed of a large N-terminal cytoplasmic domain (CD) followed by a juxtamembrane domain (JD) and a transmembrane domain (TMD).

Function

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated calcium channel that, upon 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding, transports calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen to cytoplasm, thus releasing the intracellular calcium and therefore participates in cellular calcium ion homeostasis (PubMed:32949214, PubMed:37898605, PubMed:8081734, PubMed:8288584). 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binds to the ligand-free channel without altering its global conformation, yielding the low-energy resting state, then progresses through resting-to preactivated transitions to the higher energy preactivated state, which increases affinity for calcium, promoting binding of the low basal cytosolic calcium at the juxtamembrane domain (JD) site, favoring the transition through the ensemble of high-energy intermediate states along the trajectory to the fully-open activated state (PubMed:30013099, PubMed:35301323, PubMed:37898605). Upon opening, releases calcium in the cytosol where it can bind to the low-affinity cytoplasmic domain (CD) site and stabilizes the inhibited state to terminate calcium release (PubMed:30013099, PubMed:35301323, PubMed:37898605).

Involvement in disease

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, demyelinating, 1J

CMT1J

An autosomal dominant demyelinating form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Demyelinating neuropathies are characterized by severely reduced nerve conduction velocities (less than 38 m/sec), segmental demyelination and remyelination with onion bulb formations on nerve biopsy, slowly progressive distal muscle atrophy and weakness, absent deep tendon reflexes, and hollow feet.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated by AKT1 on serine and/or threonine residues (By similarity).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the InsP3 receptor family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in intestinal crypt and villus epithelial cells.
