Summary: Enables calmodulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; positive regulation of CAMKK-AMPK signaling cascade; and positive regulation of dopamine secretion. Predicted to be located in axon and neurofilament. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PCP4 (Purkinje cell protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
