PIRT
protein-codingphosphoinositide interacting regulator of transient receptor potential channels
Gene summary
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate binding activity and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of sensory perception of pain. Predicted to act upstream of or within behavioral response to pain; positive regulation of cation channel activity; and response to heat. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001101387.2. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: Regulatory subunit of TRPV1, a molecular sensor of noxious heat and capsaicin. Positively regulates TRPV1 channel activity via phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Binds various phosphoinositide, including phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate (PIP2), but not phosphatidylinositol (PI) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.;
