motifs/domains
  • four EF-hand domains and potential calcium binding sites
  • three functional calcium-binding sites
  • C-terminal TMD in residues 193–209, necessary and sufficient for targeting to specific sub-cellular membrane domains (Mc Cue 2009)
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Caln1
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • calcium binding protein, calcimodulin superfamily
  • CaBP family
  • CATEGORY signaling

    text exhibit a membrane distribution distinct from the other CaBPs and consistent with localisation to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) (Mc Cue 2009)
  • exhibiting localisation predominantly to a peri-nuclear compartment, intracellular vesicles and in some instances the plasma membrane (Mc Cue 2009)
  • basic FUNCTION
  • calcium regulation or signaling
  • potentially involved in memory and learning
  • possess a targeting mechanism that is unique amongst the CaBPs that may contribute to differential functional Ca2+-sensing by these family members (Mc Cue 2009)
  • important regulator of a variety of plasma membrane and intracellular cation channels in neuronal cell types principally modulating cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations through control of influx from the extracellular fluid or efflux from intracellular stores (Mc Cue 2009)
  • unique role for CABP7 and CALN1 in the regulation of PI4KB
  • CABP7 and CALN1 are transmembrane Calmodulin-like EF-hand Ca(2+)-sensors, and a function in the control of Golgi-to-plasma membrane vesicle trafficking has been assigned to both proteins

    protein
  • CALN1 and CABP7 physically associate with PI4KB, inhibit the enzyme profoundly at resting and low calcium levels, and negatively interfere with Golgi-to-plasma membrane trafficking
  • CALN1 and CABP7 are nonclassical type II tail-anchored proteins that are post-translationally inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane via an association of a 23AA-long transmembrane domain (TMD) with the ASNA1 chaperone complex
