Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the calcium-binding protein superfamily that includes calmodulin and troponin C. Originally described as a 27 kDa protein, it is now known to be a 28 kDa protein. It contains four active calcium-binding domains, and has two modified domains that are thought to have lost their calcium binding capability. This protein is thought to buffer entry of calcium upon stimulation of glutamate receptors. Depletion of this protein was noted in patients with Huntington disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015],domain:This protein has four functional calcium-binding sites; potential sites II and VI have lost affinity for calcium.,function:Buffers cytosolic calcium. May stimulate a membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase and a 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.,online information:Calbindin entry,similarity:Belongs to the calbindin family.,similarity:Contains 5 EF-hand domains.,subunit:Interacts with RANBP9.,
