The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP<sub>3</sub>R) protein discussed here is the mouse type one InsP<sub>3</sub>R, also called InsP<sub>3</sub>R1. This polypeptide contains three major regions: the amino terminal inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP<sub>3</sub>) binding region, the central modulatory region, and the carboxy-terminus channel region.<sup>1</sup> The protein forms an L-shaped structure composed of two asymmetric domains perpendicular to each other.<sup>[1]</sup> The N-terminal domain is made up of 12 β-strands and 2 single-turn helices, which come together to form a barrel.<sup>[1]</sup> The C-terminal end is quite different, consisting of a bundle made of eight α-helices.<sup>[1]</sup> The interface of the two domains is lined with basic residues and forms the receptor site for InsP<sub>3</sub>.<sup>[1]</sup> The overall structure with the ligand bound can be seen here: | The specific type of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP<sub>3</sub>R) protein discussed here is the mouse type one InsP<sub>3</sub>R, also called InsP<sub>3</sub>R1.
