CIB2 (Calcium and integrin-binding family member 2) is a 187 amino acid protein encoded by the human gene CIB2. CIB2 is a ubiquitously expressed protein that contains three EF-hand domains. CIB2 is closely related to CIB1 (CIB1 has one less EF-hand domain), which is known to bind to Integrin aIIb in platelets and is involved in signal transduction. CIB2 expression is significantly reduced in Laminin a-2 chain deficient muscle, but is unaffected in the mouse model for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This indicates that CIB2 is likely involved in the pathogenesis of MDC1A, a congenital muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the gene encoding Laminin a-2 chain. CIB2 also binds to Integrin a7 and calcium, indicating that CIB2 has various functions in signalling pathways.
