RYR1 ryanodine receptor 1

Gene ID: 6261, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CCO; KDS; MHS; RYR; MHS1; RYDR; SKRR; RYR-1; CMYP1A; CMYP1B; PPP1R137

Summary

This gene encodes a ryanodine receptor found in skeletal muscle. The encoded protein functions as a calcium release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum but also serves to connect the sarcoplasmic reticulum and transverse tubule. Mutations in this gene are associated with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, central core disease, and minicore myopathy with external ophthalmoplegia. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
