Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including integrin binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of ATP-dependent activity; positive regulation of gene expression; and regulation of calcium ion transport. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial pouch; central nervous system; lung; metanephros; and superior cervical ganglion. Used to study autosomal dominant hypocalcemia 1; familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia 1; and hyperparathyroidism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (multiple); hypercalcemia (multiple); hyperparathyroidism (multiple); idiopathic generalized epilepsy 8; and nephrolithiasis (multiple). Orthologous to human CASR (calcium sensing receptor).
