  • co-localized with ryanodine receptors at the Z-lines
  • stomatin, sorcin, and synexin were shown to locate mainly outside induced GM1 (ganglioside M1) patches in the human erythrocyte membrane
    • basic FUNCTION
  • potential regulator of interchannel communication during excitation-contraction coupling in heart and skeletal muscle
  • Ca2+ binding protein implicated in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ cycling and cardiac excitation-contraction coupling
  • important gene associated with the development of multidrug-resistance in leukemia cells
  • intramitochondrial Sorcin plays a role in TRAP1 cytoprotection
  • TRAP1 and Sorcin are both implicated in multidrug resistance and are coupregulated in human colorectal carcinomas
  • ANXA7 and sorcin are cytosolic proteins that are actors in vesicular trafficking and exocytosis
  • enhances the accumulation of Ca(2+) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), preventing ER stress
  • regulates intracellular calcium homeostasis and plays a role in the induction of drug resistance in cancers
  • retains MLXIPL in the cytosol at low glucose concentrations and may act as a Ca(2+) sensor for glucose-induced nuclear translocation and the activation of MLXIPL-dependent genes

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
    mice overexpressing L112-sorcin in the heart, have mildly dilated heart but ventricular function was preserved and systemic blood pressure was normal. Sorcin (F112L) myocytes were smaller than control cells and displayed complex alterations in Ca2+ regulation and contractility
