Itpr2 - inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, type 2

Enables calcium ion binding activity; inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate binding activity; and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive calcium-release channel activity. Involved in cellular response to hypoxia and release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Located in axon; endoplasmic reticulum; and myelin sheath. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and isolated anhidrosis with normal sweat glands. Orthologous to human ITPR2 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 2).
