Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Calcium-binding protein:** CALB2 is a calcium-binding protein that can bind to four calcium ions, which is essential for its function in regulating calcium homeostasis. 2. **Presynaptic localization:** CALB2 is primarily localized to the presynaptic terminals of neurons, where it plays a critical role in regulating the concentration of calcium ions within the synaptic cleft. 3. **Regulation of calcium ion concentration:** CALB2 helps to regulate the concentration of calcium ions within the synaptic cleft by modulating the influx and efflux of calcium ions across the presynaptic membrane. 4. **Involvement in synaptic plasticity:** CALB2 is involved in regulating synaptic plasticity, including long-term synaptic potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD), which are critical for learning and memory. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Calcium ion signaling pathways:** CALB2 is involved in various calcium ion signaling pathways, including the regulation of the voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) and the calcium-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) pathway. 2. **Presynaptic calcium regulation:** CALB2 helps to regulate the concentration of calcium ions within the synaptic cleft by modulating the influx of calcium ions through VGCCs and the efflux of calcium ions through the calcium-ATPase (Ca2+/Mn2+-ATPase) pump. 3. **Regulation of neurotransmitter release:** CALB2 helps to regulate the release of neurotransmitters, including GABA and glycine, by modulating the concentration of calcium ions within the synaptic cleft. 4. **Involvement in synaptic transmission:** CALB2 is involved in regulating synaptic transmission, including the regulation of the amplitude and duration of synaptic potentials. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Neurological disorders:** CALB2 has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy. 2. **Neuromuscular junction dysfunction:** CALB2 has been shown to be involved in the regulation of neuromuscular junction function, which is critical for muscle contraction and relaxation. 3. **Cancer development:** CALB2 has been implicated in the development of certain types of cancer, including ovarian cancer and leukemia. 4. **Neurodevelopmental disorders:** CALB2 has been implicated in the development of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. In conclusion, CALB2 is a critical protein that plays a vital role in maintaining calcium homeostasis and regulating synaptic plasticity. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various neurological disorders, and further research is needed to fully understand its role in human health and disease.
