Calcyphosin

Calcyphosin is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPS is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a calcium-binding protein, which may play a role in the regulation of is_associated_with::ion transport. A similar protein was first described as a potentially important regulatory protein in the dog thyroid and was termed as R2D5 antigen in rabbit. is_associated_with::Alternative splicing of this gene generates two transcript variants.
