Function

Calcium-binding protein that may play a role in the regulation of voltage-dependent calcium channels. May also play a role in cyclic-nucleotide-mediated signaling through the regulation of adenylate and guanylate cyclases.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm, cytosol; Membrane (Peripheral membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Brain specific
Disease Association: Dystonia 2, torsion, autosomal recessive (DYT2) : A form of torsion dystonia, a disease defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contractions, often leading to abnormal postures. 'Torsion' refers to the twisting nature of body movements, often affecting the trunk. DYT2 is a slowly progressive form that first affects distal limbs and later involves the neck, orofacial, and craniocervical regions. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]

Product Specifications

Function

Calcium-binding protein that may play a role in the regulation of voltage-dependent calcium channels (PubMed:28398555). May also play a role in cyclic-nucleotide-mediated signaling through the regulation of adenylate and guanylate cyclases (By similarity)

Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytosol; Membrane (Peripheral membrane protein)

Dystonia 2, torsion, autosomal recessive (DYT2) : A form of torsion dystonia, a disease defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contractions, often leading to abnormal postures.

Brain specific

Subunit

Oligomer; oligomerization is calcium-dependent (PubMed:28398555). May interact with the voltage-dependent P/Q- and N-type calcium channels CACNA1A and CACNA1B (PubMed:28398555)
