Target Details for Calretinin

Target: Calretinin (CALB2) (Calbindin 2 (CALB2))

Alternative Name: CALB2

Background:

Synonyms: Calretinin,CR,29 kDa calbindin,CALB2,CAB29,

Tissue Specificity: Brain.

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.

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the calbindin family.

Molecular Weight: 29 kDa

UniProt: P22676
