Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including calcium ion transport; intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; and regulation of striated muscle contraction. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of muscle contraction. Located in sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; limb mesenchyme; sciatic nerve; skeletal musculature; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brody myopathy. Orthologous to human ATP2A1 (ATPase sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ transporting 1).
