Description
Calbindin-D, also known as Calbindin 1, is a Vitamin D-dependent cytoplasmic protein in the EF-hand calcium binding protein family that includes calmodulin, parvalbumin, troponin C, and S100. Calbindin-D is widely expressed and regulates calcium homeostasis. Calbindin-D protects neurons from excitotoxic and apoptotic cell death by buffering excess calcium. Human, mouse, and rat Calbindin-D share 99% amino acid sequence identity
