Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables protease binding activity; ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channel activity; and voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to caffeine; release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol by sarcoplasmic reticulum; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Acts upstream of or within muscle contraction and release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Located in T-tubule; sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane; and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Part of junctional membrane complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; endocrine gland; heart; and skeletal musculature. Used to study congenital myopathy 1A; congenital myopathy 1B; and malignant hyperthermia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congestive heart failure (multiple); intracranial vasospasm; and muscle tissue disease (multiple). Orthologous to human RYR1 (ryanodine receptor 1).
