关于 HPCAL1

功能概要

由该基因编码的蛋白质是在视网膜和大脑中发现的神经元特异性钙结合蛋白家族的成员。它与人 hippocalcin 蛋白高度相似，与大鼠和小鼠 hippocalcin like-1 蛋白几乎相同。它可能参与视紫红质磷酸化的钙依赖性调节，并且可能与中枢神经系统中的神经元信号传导相关。已针对该基因发现了几种编码相同蛋白质的可变剪接转录物变体。[RefSeq 提供，2012 年 4 月]

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of neuron-specific calcium-binding proteins family found in the retina and brain. It is highly similar to human hippocalcin protein and nearly identical to the rat and mouse hippocalcin like-1 proteins. It may be involved in the calcium-dependent regulation of rhodopsin phosphorylation and may be of relevance for neuronal signalling in the central nervous system. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
