Hpcal1

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hippocalcin-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HPCAL1 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of neuron-specific calcium-binding proteins family found in the retina and brain. It is highly similar to human hippocalcin protein and nearly identical to the rat and mouse hippocalcin like-1 proteins. It may be involved in the calcium-dependent regulation of rhodopsin phosphorylation and may be of relevance for neuronal signalling in the central nervous system.
