Protein encoded by the GRAMD2A gene
GRAM domain-containing 2A protein (GRAMD2A; formerly GRAMD2) is a protein encoded by the GRAMD2A gene .[ 5] GRAMD2B , the protein consists of a GRAM domain and a transmembrane domain that anchors it to the endoplasmic reticulum .[ 6] [ 7]
GRAMD2A is a mammalian representative of the yeast lipid transfer proteins anchored at a membrane contact site (LAM) family.[ 7] paralogs : GRAMD1A , GRAMD1B , GRAMD1C and GRAMD2B. Unlike LAM and its paralogs except GRAMD2B, GRAMD2A lacks a VASt domain .
The protein localizes to sites where membranes from different organelles are in close apposition.[ 7] plasma membrane through its GRAM domain binding phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in the plasma membrane at sites enriched for the phospholipid .[ 7] stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) recruitment to these sites of membrane contact as part of the store-operated calcium entry pathway – a component of intracellular calcium homeostasis .[ 7]
