Description
Product Characteristics: Parvalbumin is involved in calcium signaling. Alterations in the function of parvalbumin-expressing neurons hav been implicated in Alzheimer's, autism, schizophrenia, age-related cognitive defects and some forms of cancer (1).
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a high affinity calcium ion-binding protein that is structurally and functionally similar to calmodulin and troponin C. The encoded protein is thought to be involved in muscle relaxation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
