Summary: Enables several functions, including calcium-dependent protein binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and proteasome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of ATF6-mediated unfolded protein response; olfactory behavior; and protein stabilization. Is active in synaptic vesicle membrane. Used to study cataract; diabetes mellitus; and glucose intolerance. Biomarker of post-traumatic stress disorder and visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Wolfram syndrome (multiple); auditory system disease (multiple); cataract 41; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and optic atrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human WFS1 (wolframin ER transmembrane glycoprotein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Study presents a novel rat model of Wolfram syndrome (WS) in which exon 5 of the Wfs1 gene is deleted, resulting in a loss of 27 amino acids from the WFS1 protein sequence. The severity of the phenotype in this Wfs1-mutant rat more closely mimics the human condition such as insulin-dependent diabetes, optic nerve atrophy and medullary degeneration.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
