UniProt functional annotation for P30626

UniProt code: P30626.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Calcium-binding protein that modulates excitation-contraction coupling in the heart. Contributes to calcium homeostasis in the heart sarcoplasmic reticulum. Modulates the activity of RYR2 calcium channels. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17699613}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer. Interacts with GCA, RYR2 and ANXA7. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12804766, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17699613}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Relocates to the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane in response to elevated calcium levels.
Tissue specificity: Detected in cardiac myocytes.
Miscellaneous: This protein is encoded by an amplified gene in multidrug-resistant cells.
Miscellaneous: This protein has been shown to bind calcium with high affinity.
