Summary: Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases are transmembrane proteins that catalyze the ATP-dependent transport of Ca(2+) from the cytosol into the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells. This gene encodes a small proteolipid that regulates several sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases. The transmembrane protein interacts with Ca(2+)-ATPases and reduces the accumulation of Ca(2+) in the sarcoplasmic reticulum without affecting the rate of ATP hydrolysis.

Effects of amino acid modifications on the permeability of the pentameric sarcolipin channel.

Sarcolipin protein is more abundantly expressed in leg than arm skeletal muscles in humans. Sarcolipin protein expression is not altered by short-term low-intensity exercise but is reduced by repeated sprint exercise. Expression in human skeletal muscle is not associated with adiposity nor resting energy expenditure in overweight men.

These results suggest that sAnk1 interacts with SLN both directly and in complex with SERCA1 and reduces SLN's inhibitory effect on SERCA1 activity.

Molecular dynamics simulations help to clarify and to understand better the SLN pentamer channel that had a hydrophobic gate and could switch Na(+) and Cl(-) ion permeability by hydrated and vacuum states.
Title: Molecular dynamics of water and monovalent-ions transportation mechanisms of pentameric sarcolipin.
Although SLN and PLB binding to SERCA have different functional outcomes on the coupling efficiency of SERCA, both proteins decrease the apparent Ca(2+) affinity of the pump, suggesting that SLN and PLB inhibit SERCA by using a similar mechanism.
Title: Sarcolipin and phospholamban inhibit the calcium pump by populating a similar metal ion-free intermediate state.
SLN and PLN are co-expressed in most fibers, which suggests that super-inhibition of SERCAs may be physiologically important in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ in human skeletal muscle.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
