Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including actin binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within inner ear development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; neuronal cell body membrane; and perikaryon. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in ganglia and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in torsion dystonia 2. Orthologous to human HPCA (hippocalcin).
