    text
  • nuclear CAMTA1 expression is identified in the majority of Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) cases
  • basic FUNCTION
  • play important roles in oncogenesis
  • may participate in induction of cell differentiation and cell cycle regulation
  • transcription factor that interfaces with the calcium-calmodulin system of the cell to alter gene expression patterns
  • potential role in human episodic memory
  • induced neurite-like processes and markers of neuronal differentiation in neuroblastoma cells
  • inhibits growth and activates differentiation programs in neuroblastoma cells
  • has a role in brain and cerebellar function
  • is a putative tumor suppressive transcription factor
  • is a regulator of long-term memory formation

  • to coronary artery disease (CAD) and periodontitis
  • to Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

  • risk alleles in the genes CDKN2B-AS1, CAMTA1 and PLG that are shared between coronary artery disease (CAD) and periodontitis
  • rs2412208 associated with longer survival
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • presence of WWTR1-CAMTA1 fusion may serve as a useful molecular diagnostic tool in challenging diagnoses
  • nuclear CAMTA1 expression is sensitive and highly specific for epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) and can be applied to diagnostic immunohistochemistry in epithelioid tumours
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • global or nervous system deletion of Camta1 in mice causes severe ataxia with Purkinje cell degeneration and cerebellar atrophy, partially resembling the consequences of haploinsufficiency of the human Camta1 locus
