Sigmar1

This gene encodes a transmembrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum. The encoded protein is a receptor that binds several endogenous ligands, including N,N-dimethyltryptamine, progesterone and pregnenolone and a variety of of non-opiate compounds. The encoded protein plays a role in regulating the activity of ion channels, acting as a chaperone and protecting cells from oxidative stress. In humans, this receptor has been associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, stroke and numerous disease conditions such as depression, pain and addiction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Sigmar1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
