Summary: Enables calcium ion binding activity involved in regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to be involved in regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation and regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in gap junction. Is active in parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; reproductive system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CALB2 (calbindin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
