Calcium Homeostasis Modulator Protein 1NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Calcium Homeostasis Modulator Protein 1;
NCIt synonyms : CALHM1; Protein FAM26C;
NCIt definition : Calcium homeostasis modulator protein 1 (346 aa, 38 kDa) is encoded by the human
CALHM1 gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of processing of amyloid-beta
precursor protein and in voltage-gated and calcium-activated ion channel that promotes
release of ATP from cells residing in taste buds.;
NCIt note : Calcium homeostasis modulator protein 1 forms a fast-activating voltage-gated ATP-release
channel with calcium homeostasis modulator protein 3 in type II taste bud cells. (UniProt);
