    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in the neuronal differentiation and function
  • modulates apoptosis and differentiation of neuronal and muscle precursor cells, probably through an association with mitochondria
  • is part of a cellular response to oxidative stress, which could explain its pro-survival activity in neuronal, muscle and perhaps some malignant tissues
  • EFHD1 and EFHD2 are conserved and very homologous Ca(2+) binding adaptor proteins of the EF hand family, with possibly redundant functions
  • EFHD1 functions as a novel mitochondrial Ca(2+) sensor underlying Ca(2+)-dependent activation of mitoflashes

    Marker
  • PPP1R3C methylation or its combined use of EFHD1 methylation was highly positive in colorectal cancer (CRC) plasma samples, and they might be useful in detection of CRC, especially for early-stage CRCs
