Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 1 (ITPR1)

Intracellular channel that mediates calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum after stimulation by inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate (PubMed:27108797). Involved in the regulation of epithelial secretion of electrolytes and fluid through the interaction with AHCYL1 (By similarity).

Plays a role in ER stress-induced apoptosis. Cytoplasmic calcium released from the ER triggers apoptosis by the activation of CaM kinase II, eventually leading to the activation of downstream apoptosis pathways (By similarity).
