Sarcolipin is a micropeptide protein that in humans is encoded by the SLN gene.

Function

Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺-ATPases are transmembrane proteins that catalyze the ATP-dependent transport of Ca²⁺ from the cytosol into the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells. The SLN gene encodes a small transmembrane proteolipid that regulates several sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺-ATPases by reducing the accumulation of Ca²⁺ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum without affecting the rate of ATP hydrolysis.

Ablation of sarcolipin increases atrial Ca²⁺ transient amplitudes and enhanced atrial contractility. Furthermore, atria from sarcolipin-null mice have blunted response to isoproterenol stimulation, implicating sarcolipin as a mediator of beta-adrenergic responses in atria. Recently it has been shown that SLN is an important mediator of muscle based thermogenesis and loss of sarcolipin predisposes mice to diet-induced obesity thus suggesting its role in energy metabolism and regulation of weight gain

Interactions

SLN (gene) has been shown to interact with PLN and ATP2A1.
