    Summary
    Enables several functions, including ATPase binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; peptidyl-serine dephosphorylation; and response to calcium ion. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; dendritic spine; and nucleoplasm. Part of calcineurin complex. Colocalizes with cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 91. Biomarker of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and schizophrenia. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
