Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables calcium ion binding activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration and calcium ion binding activity involved in regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Involved in metanephros development; regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation; and retina layer formation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to organic substance; locomotory behavior; and regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; lung; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CALB1 (calbindin 1).
