Hrc Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable ATPase binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Acts upstream of or within calcium ion homeostasis and regulation of heart contraction. Located in sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human HRC (histidine rich calcium binding protein).

Protein Domains

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 Hrc often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • ATPase binding
  • histidine rich acidic repeat
  • polyglutamine repeat
  • calcium ion binding
  • ion channel binding
