CALHM3 tissues

CALHM3 [ENSP00000358798]

Calcium homeostasis modulator protein 3; Pore-forming subunit of a voltage-gated ion channel, also permeable to larger molecules including ATP. Together with CALHM1, forms a fast-activating voltage-gated ATP-release channel in type II taste bud cells (TBCs). CALHM1-CALHM3-mediated ATP released acts as a neurotransmitter to gustatory neurons in response to GPCR-mediated tastes, including sweet, bitter and umami substances.

0 1 2 3 4 5 Confidence

The tissue associations are derived from manually curated knowledge in UniProtKB and via automatic text mining of the biomedical literature, which has not been manually verified. The confidence of each association is signified by stars, where ★★★★★ is the highest confidence and ★☆☆☆☆ is the lowest. Download files from earlier versions are archived on figshare.

Each tissue–gene association is based on a text-mining score, which is proportional to 1) the absolute number of comentionings and 2) the ratio of observed to expected comentionings (i.e. the enrichment). These scores are normalized to z-scores by comparing them to a random background. This is represented by stars, each star corresponding to two standard deviations above the mean of the background distribution.
