Calm3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including enzyme activator activity; enzyme binding activity; and titin binding activity. Involved in presynaptic endocytosis. Acts upstream of or within G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle. Located in myelin sheath. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in calyx of Held. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and long QT syndrome 16. Orthologous to human CALM3 (calmodulin 3).

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 Calm3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
