Homo sapiens This gene encodes a small peptide that shares structural similarity to the small peptides sarcolipin and phospholamban, which are key regulators of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCAs). This protein is thought to have a similar function to these peptides, regulating Ca(2+) reuptake in the sarcoplasmic reticulum by inhibiting the Ca(2+) pump activity of SERCAs. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2015]

Homo sapiens The muscarinic cholinergic receptors belong to a larger family of G protein-coupled receptors. The functional diversity of these receptors is defined by the binding of acetylcholine and includes cellular responses such as adenylate cyclase inhibition, phosphoinositide degeneration, and potassium channel mediation. Muscarinic receptors influence many effects of acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system. The muscarinic cholinergic receptor 1 is involved in mediation of vagally-induced bronchoconstriction and in the acid secretion of the gastrointestinal tract. The gene encoding this receptor is localized to 11q13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
