Historical Background

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor-associated cyclic GMP (cGMP) kinase substrate (IRAG) is a 125-kD type 2 integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein. IRAG is 900 amino acids long and encoded by the Mrvi1 gene. Two splice variants exist in both mouse and humans with the IRAGa isoform containing an extra 84 amino acids in the N-terminus. Both variants contain a C-terminal hydrophobic domain, α-helix coiled-coil domain, basic N-terminal region, and multiple glycosylation and phosphorylation sites (Ammendola et al. 2001; Schlossmann et al. 2000; Shaughnessy et al. 1999). IRAG forms a complex with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) and cGMP kinase I-β (cGKIβ) and is involved in nitric oxide (NO), cGMP, and cGKIβ signaling pathways. IRAG plays a...
