Commentary on involvement of protein in cancer: Play a role as NO/PRKG1-dependent regulator of IP3-induced calcium release; its phosphorylation by PRKG1 inhibits bradykinin and IP3-induced calcium release from intracellular stores. Recruits PRKG1 to the endoplasmic reticulum and may mediate the assembly of PRKG1 and ITPR1 in a macrocomplex. Involved in PRKG1 signaling cascade leading to inhibition of platelet activation and aggregation. Mediates also NO-dependent inhibition of calcium signaling in gastrointestinal smooth muscle contributing to NO-dependent relaxation.
