Calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein that plays a role in calcium-mediated intracellular processes. Binds phospholipid membranes in a calcium-dependent manner (By similarity). Plays a role in dendrite formation by melanocytes .
Cytoplasm . Cell membrane . Endosome . Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle . Perikaryon . Cell projection, dendrite . Mainly cytoplasmic in absence of calcium. Associated predominantly with membranes in presence of calcium. Translocates to the cell membrane in a calcium-dependent manner. Colocalized with transferrin in intracellular clathrin-coated membrane vesicles in a calcium-dependent manner. .
Widely expressed in the brain (PubMed:9645480, PubMed:10403379, PubMed:12949241). Expressed weakly in the kidney, liver and fetal heart (PubMed:12949241). Expressed in melanocytes (PubMed:23999003).
