Rcvrn Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within phototransduction; regulation of calcium ion transport; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in dendrite. Is expressed in eye; photoreceptor layer; retina; retina inner nuclear layer; and retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human RCVRN (recoverin).

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