Type: | Family | Name: | Tricalbin |
Description: | Tricalbins constitute a synaptotagmin-like yeast protein family. Tricalbins contain several copies of C2 domains and are thought to be involved in membrane traffic [, , ]. The family consists of three members: tricalbin 1-3. The C2 domains of tricalbins 1 and 3 are calcium-dependent lipid-binding units comparable to mammalian synaptotagmin C2 domains, while tricalbin 2 does not seem to bind lipids in response to calcium signaling []. | Short Name: | Tricalbin |
