Gene information for CALB2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID794
Official gene symbolCALB2
Full namecalbindin 2
Aliases,CAL2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an intracellular calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. Members of this protein family have six EF-hand domains which bind calcium. This protein plays a role in diverse cellular functions, including message targeting and intracellular calcium buffering. It also functions as a modulator of neuronal excitability, and is a diagnostic marker for some human diseases, including Hirschsprung disease and some cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
