CABP5 calcium binding protein 5 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 56344)

Symbol: CABP5

Full name: calcium binding protein 5

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CABP3

Summary: The product of this gene belongs to a subfamily of calcium binding proteins, which share similarity to calmodulin. Calcium binding proteins are an important component of calcium mediated cellular signal transduction. Expression of this gene is retina-specific. The mouse homolog of this protein has been shown to express in the inner nuclear layer of the retina, suggested its role in neuronal functioning. The specific function of this gene is unknown.
