Ocm Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in response to wounding. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cuticular plate; extracellular space; and stereocilium. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in crista ampullaris and utricle. Orthologous to several human genes including OCM (oncomodulin).

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 Ocm often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- EF-hand domain
- binding protein
- EF hand
- EF-hand domain pair
- EF-hand, calcium binding motif, found in parvalbumin-like EF-hand family
- protein homodimerization
- calcium ion binding
- EFh
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
