Gene: NCS1

Alternate names for this Gene: FLUP|FREQ

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the neuronal calcium sensor gene family, which encode calcium-binding proteins expressed predominantly in neurons. The protein encoded by this gene regulates G protein-coupled receptor phosphorylation in a calcium-dependent manner and can substitute for calmodulin. The protein is associated with secretory granules and modulates synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q34.11

Description of this Gene: neuronal calcium sensor 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
