Ncald Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables actin binding activity and alpha-tubulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium-mediated signaling and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure. Orthologous to human NCALD (neurocalcin delta). [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 rat Ncald often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
