NCIt synonyms : FAM26C; Family With Sequence Similarity 26, Member C Gene; Calcium Homeostasis Modulator 1 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human CALHM1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 10q24.33 and is approximately
6 kb in length. This allele, which encodes calcium homeostasis modulator protein 1,
plays a role in voltage-gated and calcium-activated ion channel activity, taste perception
and modulating the processing of amyloid-beta precursor protein. Polymorphism at this
locus may be associated with susceptibility to late-onset Alzheimer disease.;
