Disease relevance of CALB1

 

High impact information on CALB1

  • On SDS-PAGE stained with silver the intact epithelium is seen to contain a large number of bands, the most prominent of which are calbindin and actin [6].
  • Calretinin and calbindin are expressed in different sets of neurons throughout the brain [7].
  • We identified proteins that have been described previously as expressed in the inner ear, such as beta-tectorin, calbindin, and type II collagen [8].
  • The presence of a specific calcium-binding activity at such high levels suggests an important function for cochlear calbindin (BPP23) in hair cell calcium homeostasis and auditory transduction [9].
  • Although the basilar papilla contains both receptor hair cells and supporting cells, immunocytochemical studies by others have localized calbindin-like immunoreactivity to the hair cells in the rat auditory receptor epithelium [9].
 

Biological context of CALB1

 

Anatomical context of CALB1

  • These results reveal a developmentally regulated expression of GluR2/3 proteins, including their splice variants, and of CB and PV in Purkinje cells [13].
  • Of note, the corticoid dorsolateral area (sometimes referred as caudolateral part of the parahippocampal area) contained CB immunoreactivity patches coinciding with Nissl-stained cell aggregates, partially resembling the patches described in the mammalian entorhinal cortex [14].
  • We have used immunolabeling against calbindin, neuropeptide Y, and DARPP-32 (dopamine- and adenosine-related phosphoprotein, 32 kDa) for the selective marking of putative accumbens subdivisions and have followed the anterograde transport of biotinylated dextran amine injected to the nucleus tractus solitarii region of 7-day-old domestic chicks [15].
  • Prenatal acoustic stimulation influences neuronal size and the expression of calcium-binding proteins (calbindin D-28K and parvalbumin) in chick hippocampus [16].
  • Calbindin D28k, a highly conserved protein with Ca2+-sensing and Ca2+-buffering capabilities, is abundant in brain and sensory neurons [17].
 

Associations of CALB1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CALB1

  • Calbindin-D28K is a 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-dependent protein that belongs to the superfamily of high affinity calcium-binding proteins which includes parvalbumin, calmodulin, and troponin C. All of these proteins bind Ca2+ ligands by an alpha-helix-loop-alpha-helix domain that is termed an EF-hand [21].
 

Regulatory relationships of CALB1

  • It was found that analogs known to bind effectively to the nuclear receptor in vitro could achieve a significant occupancy of the VDR in vivo and stimulated calbindin-D28K messenger RNA and protein synthesis [22].
 

Other interactions of CALB1

  • Expression of GluR2/3 proteins, CB, PV, and the mRNAs coding for GluR2 and GluR3 splice variants all revealed a differential expression during development in chick Purkinje cells [13].
  • Calretinin immunoreactivity presented a peak (both in number of cells and in intensity) at E15 and fell dramatically after E20 while calbindin immunoreactivity was restricted to the Purkinje cells and increased with the development of these cells [23].
  • The chicken LSO complex was characterized chemoarchitectonically from embryonic to posthatching stages, by using immunohistochemistry for calbindin, tyrosine hydroxylase, NKX2.1, and BEN proteins and in situ hybridization for Nkx2.1, Nkx2.2, Nkx6.1, Shh, and Dlx5 mRNA [24].
  • In the mallard, nerve fibres were rarely calbindin positive while definitively positive for VIP [25].
  • Northern gel analysis revealed that three species of calbindin-D28K mRNA (2.0, 2.6 and 3.1 kb) were present a priori in the vitamin D-deficient chick brain and that administration of pharmacological doses (6.5 nmol/animal) of 1,25(OH)2D3 failed to influence their relative abundance [26].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CALB1

  • In the present study the as yet unexamined relationship among Ca2+ transport, calbindin-D28K, and microtubules was studied by immunofluorescence microscopy [18].
  • Electron microscopy with immunogold labeling revealed intestinal epithelial calbindin-D28K to be localized inside of small vesicles and lysosome-like structures, with sparse cytoplasmic labeling [18].
  • Sequence analysis identifies six EF-hand calcium-binding domains and reveals 42% and 37% homology to chicken calretinin and calbindin D-28k, respectively [27].
  • Immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation experiments with this antiserum indicate that BPP23 is a calcium-binding protein very similar, if not identical, to avian calbindin, the 28-kDa vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein [9].
  • It was of interest to quantitate the Ca2(+)-binding ability of chick intestinal calbindin-D28K utilizing several different Ca2+ titration methods that cover a range of macroscopic binding constants for weak or strong Ca2+ sites [21].
