| UniProt functional annotation for Q8VHC5 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8VHC5. |
| Organism: | Mus musculus (Mouse). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus. | |
| Function: | Involved in normal synaptic function through regulation of Ca(2+) influx and neurotransmitter release in photoreceptor synaptic terminals and in auditory transmission. Modulator of CACNA1D and CACNA1F, suppressing the calcium-dependent inactivation and shifting the activation range to more hyperpolarized voltages. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15452577, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16249514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17050707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17947313}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with CACNA1F and CACNA1D (via IQ domain) in a calcium independent manner. Interacts (via N-terminus) with UNC119. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15452577, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17050707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17947313, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18296658}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P57796}. Cell junction, synapse, presynapse {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15452577}. Note=Found in rod spherules and cone pedicles of the presynapses from both types of photoreceptors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15452577}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in retina and in the inner hair cells (IHC) of the cochlea. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15452577, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16249514, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17050707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17947313}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation levels change with the light conditions and regulate the activity, but has no effect on calcium binding. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18003854}. | |
