Abstract excerpt
Haploinsufficiency of the ATP2A2 gene product, SERCA2, underlies most cases of Darier's disease. Sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase isoform 2 (SERCA2) is an intracellular Ca2+ pump that replenishes ER Ca2+, and it seems likely that the disease manifests in stress-induced lesions because SERCA levels become limiting as extra demands are made on the pump in times of stress. However, Müller and...
