Description
Product Characteristics: FUNCTION: Thought to stabilize the calcium channel in an inactivated (closed) state. Tissue specificity: Brain Subcellular location: Membrane, Single-pass type I membrane protein,Gamma Subunit,Voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-2 subunit, Neuronal voltage-gated calcium channel gamma-2 subunit
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a type I transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein (TARP). TARPs regulate both trafficking and channel gating of the AMPA receptors. This gene is part of a functionally diverse eight-member protein subfamily of the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family. This gene is a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
