Calcium binding protein 2

Last updated


Calcium binding protein 2, also known as CaBP2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CABP2 gene.

The CABP2 gene comprises 6 exons, spanning approximately 5 kb, and is situated on chromosome 11q13.1. [1]

CaBP2 contain a consensus sequence for N-terminal myristoylation, akin to members of the recoverin subfamily, and undergoes fatty acid acylation in vitro. [1]

Function and clinical significance

CaBP2 involves in calcium signaling and regulation. Specifically, CaBP2 is known for its ability to bind calcium ions, acting as a calcium sensor within cells. [2] This interaction with calcium plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including neurotransmitter release in neurons and modulation of ion channels. CaBP2 is found in the retina and plays a significant role in visual signal processing. It interacts with other proteins, including those involved in the phototransduction cascade, contributing to the regulation of calcium levels in response to light stimuli. [3] [4]

Moreover, The CaBP2 protein is highly expressed in the cochlea. [5] Non-syndromic autosomal recessive hearing impairment DFNB93, caused by defects in the CABP2 gene. Genetic defects in CABP2 may result in moderate to severe sensorineural hearing impairment. [6] [7]

As of 2021, CaBP2-related non-syndromic hearing impairment has been reported in only a few families worldwide, including those in Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Italy, and Denmark. [8]

Nonsyndromic deafness is hearing loss that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. In contrast, syndromic deafness involves hearing loss that occurs with abnormalities in other parts of the body. Nonsyndromic deafness constitutes 75% of all hearing loss cases, and an estimated 100 genes are thought to be linked to this condition. About 80% are linked to autosomal recessive inheritance, 15% to autosomal dominant inheritance, 1-3% through the X chromosome, and 0.5-1% are associated with mitochondrial inheritance.

Calcium-binding mitochondrial carrier protein Aralar1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC25A12 gene. Aralar is an integral membrane protein located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Its primary function as an antiporter is the transport of cytoplasmic glutamate with mitochondrial aspartate across the inner mitochondrial membrane, dependent on the binding of one calcium ion. Mutations in this gene cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy 39 (EIEE39), symptomized by global hypomyelination of the central nervous system, refractory seizures, and neurodevelopmental impairment. This gene has connections to autism.

TMC1 contains six transmembrane domains with both the C and N termini on the endoplasmic side of the membrane, as well as a large loop between domains 4 and 5. This topology is similar to that of transient receptor potential channels (TRPs), a family of proteins involved in the perception of senses such as temperature, taste, pressure, and vision.

Polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder in which the renal tubules become structurally abnormal, resulting in the development and growth of multiple cysts within the kidney. These cysts may begin to develop in utero, in infancy, in childhood, or in adulthood. Cysts are non-functioning tubules filled with fluid pumped into them, which range in size from microscopic to enormous, crushing adjacent normal tubules and eventually rendering them non-functional as well.
