Neuronal calcium sensor
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Neuronal Calcium Sensor is a large family of proteins which work as calcium dependent molecular switches and includes members like Frequenin (NCS1), recoverin, GCAP, neurocalcin, visinin etc.[1] All the members carry 4 EF hand motifs (out of which only 2 or 3 bind calcium) and an N-myristoyl group.[2]
Members of NCS family
- Highly evolutionarily conserved [3]
- NCS1 (Frequenin)
- VILIP-1 (Visinin-like-protein-1)
- HPCAL4 (Visinin-like-protein-2)
- HPCAL1 (Visinin-like-protein-3)
- hippocalcin
- neurocalcin
- recoverin
- Guanylate cyclase activator proteins (GCAPs)
- Potassium Channel interacting proteins (KChIPs 1-4), including:
KCNIP1, KCNIP2, Calsenilin or DREAM/KChIP-3/KCNIP3 (downstream regulatory element antagonist modulator/potassium channel interacting protein), KCNIP4
