Neurocalcin-d/NCALD Protein(N-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Neurocalcin-delta is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Phe193 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Sequence: Met 1-Phe193. Fusion tag: N-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 20 kDa. Protein function: Neurocalcin-delta (NCALD) is a neuronal calcium-binding protein that belongs to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) family. It expressed in mammalian brains. NCALD contains an N-terminal myristoylation signal and four EF-hand calcium binding loops. The protein possesses a Ca2+ /myristoyl switch. It is cytosolic at resting calcium levels. However, elevated intracellular calcium levels induce a conformational change which exposes the myristoyl group, resulting in protein association with membranes and partial co-localization with the perinuclear trans-golgi network. NCALD protein is thought to be a regulator of G protein-coupled receptor signal transduction. Protein function: May be involved in the calcium-dependent regulation of rhodopsin phosphorylation. Binds three calcium ions. [The UniProt Consortium]
