Abstract excerpt
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor 1 (ITPR1) is an intracellular Ca2+ release channel critical for numerous cellular processes. Despite its ubiquitous physiological significance, ITPR1 mutations have thus far been linked to primarily movement disorders. Surprisingly, most disease-associated ITPR1 mutations generate a loss of function. This leaves our understanding of ITPR1-associated pathology oddly one-sided,...
