Cib2 - calcium and integrin binding family member 2 Gene

Enables calcium ion binding activity and Integrin binding activity. Involved in calcium ion homeostasis and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Located in several cellular components, including muscle tendon junction; photoreceptor inner segment; and sarcolemma. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; inner ear; integumental system; and skeletal musculature. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 48. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Usher syndrome type 1J and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 48. Orthologous to human CIB2 (calcium and Integrin binding family member 2).
