Hpca - hippocalcin

Enables calcium ion binding activity and kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of phospholipase D activity; cellular response to electrical stimulus; and negative regulation of guanylate cyclase activity. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; neuronal cell body membrane; and perikaryon. Is extrinsic component of membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in torsion dystonia 2. Orthologous to human HPCA (hippocalcin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
