About GCA

Cytogenetic location: 2q24.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:162,318,763-162,375,396 (from NCBI)

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 47.3), appendix (RPKM 18.4) and 18 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a calcium-binding protein that is abundant in neutrophils and macrophages. In the absence of divalent cation, this protein localizes to the cytosolic fraction; with magnesium alone, it partitions with the granule fraction; and in the presence of magnesium and calcium, it associates with both the granule and membrane fractions. Alternative splicing and use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
