Abstract excerpt
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1) is an intracellular Ca2+ release channel important for a number of fundamental cellular functions. Consistent with its critical physiological significance, mutations in ITPR1 are associated with disease. Surprisingly, nearly all the disease-associated ITPR1 mutations characterized to date are loss of function. Despite the paucity of ITPR1 gain-of-function (GOF)...
