Calcium release into the cytosol via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP<sub>3</sub>R) calcium channel is important for a variety of cellular processes. As a result, impairment or inhibition of this release can result in disease. Recently, mutations in all four domains of the IP<sub>3</sub>R have been suggested to cause diseases such as ataxia, cancer, and anhidrosis; however, most of these mutations have not been functionally characterized. In this review we summarize the reported mut ...[more]
