Tissue Specificity | Expressed in brain with higher levels in fetal brain. Found in cerebellum and occipital pole. |
Function | Forms a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. Probably is operated by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases or G-protein coupled receptors. Has also been shown to be calcium-selective. May also be activated by intracellular calcium store depletion. Mediates calcium-dependent phosphatidylserine externalization and apoptosis in neurons via its association with PLSCR1. Acts on distinct neuronal populations in the hypothalamus to regulate innate behaviors including feeding, anxiety (flight/fight/fear), socialization, and maternal care. |
