Rabbit Ryanodine receptor 1,RyR1 ELI

Calcium channel that mediates the release of Ca(2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the cytoplasm and thereby plays a key role in triggering muscle contraction following depolarization of T-tubules (PubMed:3722165, PubMed:10388749, PubMed:10097181, PubMed:12732639, PubMed:22036948, PubMed:26245150, PubMed:27662087).

Repeated very high-level exercise increases the open probability of the channel and leads to Ca(2+) leaking into the cytoplasm (By similarity).

Can also mediate the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores in neurons, and may thereby promote prolonged Ca(2+) signaling in the brain.

Required for normal embryonic development of muscle fibers and skeletal muscle.

Required for normal heart morphogenesis, skin development and ossification during embryogenesis (By similarity).
