Pvalb Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in excitatory chemical synaptic transmission; gene expression; and inhibitory chemical synaptic transmission. Located in axon and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PVALB (parvalbumin).

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 Pvalb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
