Gene information for RCN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5954
Official gene symbolRCN1
Full namereticulocalbin 1, EF-hand calcium binding domain
Aliases,FLJ37041,PIG20,RCAL,RCN,
Gene summaryReticulocalbin 1 is a calcium-binding protein located in the lumen of the ER. The protein contains six conserved regions with similarity to a high affinity Ca(+2)-binding motif, the EF-hand. High conservation of amino acid residues outside of these motifs, in comparison to mouse reticulocalbin, is consistent with a possible biochemical function besides that of calcium binding. In human endothelial and prostate cancer cell lines this protein localizes to the plasma membrane.
