Summary: Enables calcium ion binding activity; channel regulator activity; and myosin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including autophagic cell death; cellular response to ethanol; and neuron development. Located in several cellular components, including microtubule cytoskeleton; midbody; and rhabdomere. Part of myosin V complex; myosin VI complex; and myosin VII complex. Colocalizes with plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including ganglia; head epidermis primordium; neurohemal organ; sensory nervous system primordium; and synaptic neuropil domain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 4; familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; long QT syndrome 14; long QT syndrome 15; and long QT syndrome 16. Orthologous to human CALM1 (calmodulin 1); CALM2 (calmodulin 2); and CALM3 (calmodulin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
