Gene: RYR3
Alternate names for this Gene: RYR-3
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a ryanodine receptor, which functions to release calcium from intracellular storage for use in many cellular processes. For example, the encoded protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction by releasing calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum followed by depolarization of T-tubules. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 15
Location in Chromosome : 15q13.3-q14
Description of this Gene: ryanodine receptor 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
