Cpne8 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes a member of the copine family of highly conserved, calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins. The encoded protein has two characteristic C2 domains and a VWFA domain and may play a role in membrane trafficking. A related pseudogene is found on chromosome 8. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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 Cpne8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Copine
- von Willebrand factor (vWF) type A domain
- vWFA
- protein binding
- Protein kinase C conserved region 2 (CalB)
