The Function of TMCO1
Calcium-selective channel required to prevent calcium stores from overfilling, thereby playing a key role in calcium homeostasis (PubMed:27212239). In response to endoplasmic reticulum overloading, assembles into a homotetramer, forming a functional calcium-selective channel, regulating the calcium content in endoplasmic reticulum store (PubMed:27212239).

Tissue specificity:
Widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues, with higher levels in thymus, prostate, testis and small intestine and lower levels in brain, placenta, lung and kidney (PubMed:10393320, PubMed:20018682). Present in most tissues in the eye, including the trabecular meshwork and retina (at protein level) (PubMed:22714896).
