Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine phosphatase regulator activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; response to ischemia; and short-term memory. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human RCAN1 (regulator of calcineurin 1).
