Introduction
Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca+2-ATPase of fast twitch skeletal muscle.
Function
- catalyzes hydrolysis of ATP coupled with translocation of calcium from cytosol to sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen
- contributes to calcium sequestration in muscular excitation/ contraction
- interactions with phospholamban, sarcolipin Alternative slicing: SERCA1A, SERCA1B
Pathology
mutations associated with Brody myopathy
Genetics
gene locus: 16p12.1
