RYR3
Description
The RYR3 (ryanodine receptor 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 15.
RYR3 is a protein encoded by the RYR3 gene. It is a calcium channel and a receptor for the plant alkaloid ryanodine. RYR3 and RYR1 control the resting calcium ion concentration in skeletal muscle.
RYR3 is a calcium channel that releases calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the muscle cytoplasm, triggering muscle contraction. It also mediates calcium-induced calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum in non-muscle cells, contributing to cellular calcium homeostasis and signaling.
RYR3 is also known as CMYO20, CMYP20, RYR-3.
