Target Background

Function
The SIGMAR1 antibody targets a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This protein is involved in a wide range of cellular functions, likely through its regulation of lipid microdomain biogenesis at the plasma membrane. It is also implicated in the regulation of various receptors, influencing signaling pathways such as BDNF and EGF. Additionally, it regulates ion channels, including the potassium channel, potentially modulating neurotransmitter release. This protein contributes to calcium signaling by modulating, along with ANK2, the ITP3R-dependent calcium efflux at the ER. It further participates in essential cellular processes including proliferation, survival, and death. Initially recognized for its ability to bind diverse psychoactive drugs, it is involved in learning, memory, and mood regulation. This protein is essential for proper mitochondrial axonal transport in motor neurons, particularly the retrograde movement of mitochondria. Furthermore, it plays a role in protecting cells against oxidative stress-induced cell death through its interaction with RNF112.
