Hippocalcin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HPCA gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Hippocalcin is a calcium-binding protein that belongs to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) family of proteins. [7] [8] It is expressed in mammalian brains especially in the hippocampus. It possesses a Ca2+/myristoyl switch. [9]

Processes

Hippocalcin takes part in the following processes:

Interactions
