Cherp Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; positive regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; and release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human CHERP (calcium homeostasis endoplasmic reticulum protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Cherp often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- G-patch domain
- ion channel binding
- VHS, ENTH and ANTH domain superfamily
- CID domain
- Surp module
- protein binding
- Suppressor-of-White-APricot splicing regulator
