Description |
ryanodine receptor 2, cardiac |
| Gene Summary |
Enables several functions, including calmodulin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and ryanodine-sensitive calcium-release channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to caffeine; cellular response to epinephrine stimulus; and regulation of heart contraction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle hypertrophy; left ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis; and positive regulation of heart rate. Located in Z disc; sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane; and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Part of calcium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Used to study catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 1 and heart disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 1. Orthologous to human RYR2 (ryanodine receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025] |
