RYR3 ryanodine receptor 3

Gene ID: 6263, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RYR-3; CMYO20; CMYP20

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a ryanodine receptor, which functions to release calcium from intracellular storage for use in many cellular processes. For example, the encoded protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction by releasing calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum followed by depolarization of T-tubules. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
