Background

Calbindin is a calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. Calretinin is expressed in central and peripheral nervous system and in many normal and pathological tissues. The rat and human calretinin exhibit 98% sequence homology and 91% homology to many other species. Two calcium binding proteins, calbindin and calretinin, have been reported to be expressed in abundance in Purkinje cells and other cell types in the cerebellum.

Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Localizes within both nucleus and cytoplasm of proliferative primary myoblasts and mostly within the nucleus of differentiated primary myoblasts. By virtue of the N-terminal PH domain, is recruited to sites of the plasma membrane containing increased PI (3,4,5) P3 or PI (3,4) P2, cell membrane targeting is also facilitared by interaction with CLIP3.

Sequence Similarities

Belongs to the calbindin family.
