Itpr2 - inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor 2

Enables inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive calcium-release channel activity and phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Involved in cellular response to cAMP. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion transport and cellular response to ethanol. Located in cell cortex and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; liver; medulla oblongata; skeletal muscle; and spleen. Used to study isolated anhidrosis with normal sweat glands. 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).
