NCALD encodes a member of the neuronal calcium sensor
(NCS) family of calcium-binding proteins. The protein contains an
N-terminal myristoylation signal and four EF-hand calcium binding
loops. The protein is cytosolic at resting calcium levels; however,
elevated intracellular calcium levels induce a conformational
change that exposes the myristoyl group, resulting in protein
association with membranes and partial co-localization with the
perinuclear trans-golgi network. The protein is thought to be a
regulator of G protein-coupled receptor signal transduction.
Several alternatively spliced variants of this gene have been
determined, all of which encode the same protein; additional
variants may exist but their biological validity has not been
determined.1) Rose, J.E., et al. Mol. Med. 16 (7-8), 247-253 (2010) :
