Disease relevance of CAMTA1

  • Mutation analysis of the exons encoding conserved regions of CAMTA1 showed no somatic mutations in 10 gliomas, including 6 cases with and 4 cases without 1p LOH [1].
  • All informative tumors in the oligodendroglial group and 2 of 3 informative astrocytomas showed LOH at 1p36.23, with a 150-kb MDR located between D1S2694 and D1S2666, entirely within the CAMTA1 transcription factor gene [1].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Our data confirm the strong association of combined 1p/19q loss with classic oligodendroglioma histology and identify a very small segment of 1p36 located within CAMTA1 that was deleted in all oligodendroglial tumors with 1p LOH [1].
  • This result suggested that CAMTA1 could associate with the differentiation of neuroblastoma cells [2].
 

High impact information on CAMTA1

  • Our data suggest that calmodulin/CAMTA/Fbxl4 may mediate a long-term feedback regulation of the activity of Ca(2+)-stimulating GPCRs, which could prevent cell damage due to extra Ca(2+) influx [3].
  • The Fly CAMTA Transcription Factor Potentiates Deactivation of Rhodopsin, a G Protein-Coupled Light Receptor [3].
  • RESULTS: The commonly deleted region spans 261 kb and encompasses two genes, FLJ10737 and CAMTA1 [4].
  • In contrast, low CAMTA1 expression characterized tumors with 1p deletion, MYCN amplification, and advanced tumor stages 3 and 4 [4].
  • Reduced expression of CAMTA1 correlates with adverse outcome in neuroblastoma patients [4].
 

Psychiatry related information on CAMTA1

  • Our validated genomic and functional biological findings described herein suggest a role for CAMTA1 in human episodic memory [5].
