Calcium Homeostasis Modulator Protein 1

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Receptor

**Definition:** Calcium homeostasis modulator protein 1 (346 aa, ~38 kDa) is encoded by the human CALHM1 gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of processing of amyloid-beta precursor protein and in voltage-gated and calcium-activated ion channel that promotes release of ATP from cells residing in taste buds.

**Synonyms:** - CALHM1 - Protein FAM26C
