CPNE8
Description
The CPNE8 (copine 8) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
Copine-8 is a protein produced in humans by the CPNE8 gene. It belongs to a family of proteins that bind to cell membranes in the presence of calcium, potentially regulating events at the membrane-cytoplasm interface. The CPNE8 gene encodes a protein with two N-terminal C2 domains (type II) and a C-terminal sequence resembling an integrin A domain. This gene is one of several encoding calcium-dependent proteins with this structure.
Copine-8 is a protein that likely binds to phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner. It is thought to participate in cellular processes regulated by calcium.
CPNE8 is also known as -.
