Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Plays an important role in cell protection against oxidative stress and in the regulation of redox-related calcium homeostasis. Regulates the calcium level of the ER by protecting the calcium pump ATP2A2 against the oxidoreductase ERO1A-mediated oxidative damage (By similarity). Acts as a modulator of ryanodine receptor (RyR) activity: protects RyR from oxidation due to increased oxidative stress, or directly controls the RyR redox state, regulating the RyR-mediated calcium mobilization required for normal muscle development and differentiation (PubMed:18713863). Plays an important role in muscle development and differentiation during early development. Required for development of the slow muscle fiber lineage (PubMed:18713863). Required for the correct organization and attachment of the myofibrils, as well as for the continuity and integrity of the connective tissue that forms the myoseptum (PubMed:17123513).
