Ncald Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; clathrin binding activity; and cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within calcium-mediated signaling and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; immune system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human NCALD (neurocalcin delta).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ncald often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
