Cabp2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables calcium channel regulator activity. Involved in sensory perception of sound and visual perception. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 93. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 93. Orthologous to human CABP2 (calcium binding protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Cabp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
