Hpcal1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within liver development. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ganglia; and retina layer. Orthologous to human HPCAL1 (hippocalcin like 1). [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 Hpcal1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
