Summary
CASQ2 (calsequestrin 2, HGNC:1513) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p13.1, encoding Calsequestrin-2 (O14958). Calsequestrin is a high-capacity, moderate affinity, calcium-binding protein and thus acts as an internal calcium store in muscle.
The protein encoded by this gene specifies the cardiac muscle family member of the calsequestrin family. Calsequestrin is localized to the sarcoplasmic reticulum in cardiac and slow skeletal muscle cells. The protein is a calcium binding protein that stores calcium for muscle function. Mutations in this gene cause stress-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, also referred to as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 (CPVT2), a disease characterized by bidirectional ventricular tachycardia that may lead to cardiac arrest.

Function. Calsequestrin is a high-capacity, moderate affinity, calcium-binding protein and thus acts as an internal calcium store in muscle. Calcium ions are bound by clusters of acidic residues at the protein surface, especially at the interface between subunits. Can bind around 60 Ca(2+) ions. Regulates the release of lumenal Ca(2+) via the calcium release channel RYR2; this plays an important role in triggering muscle contraction. Plays a role in excitation-contraction coupling in the heart and in regulating the rate of heart beats.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer, homodimer and homooligomer. Mostly monomeric in the absence of calcium. Forms higher oligomers in a calcium-dependent manner. Dimers associate to form tetramers, that then form linear homomer chains. Interacts with ASPH and TRDN.
Subcellular location. Sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation in the C-terminus, probably by CK2, moderately increases calcium buffering capacity. N-glycosylated.
Disease relevance. Ventricular tachycardia, catecholaminergic polymorphic, 2 (CPVT2) [MIM:611938] An arrhythmogenic disorder characterized by stress-induced, bidirectional ventricular tachycardia that may degenerate into cardiac arrest and cause sudden death. Patients present with recurrent syncope, seizures, or sudden death after physical activity or emotional stress. CPVT2 inheritance is autosomal recessive. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the calsequestrin family.
