Background: Calcineurin is a Ca(2+) dependent protein phosphatase that is involed in several neuornal functions. Proteins belonging to the RCAN (Regulator of calcineurin) family modulate the activity of Calcineurin through a valine-rich region within their carboxyl tail. RCANs compete with NFATs (Nuclear factor of activated T-cells) for binding to the same docking site in calcineurin, which results in either inhibition or activation of calcineurin activity. Calcipressin-2, also known as RCAN2 and DSCR1L1 (Down syndrome candidate region 1-like 1), is a 197 amino acid protein that is highly expressed in both the cytoplasm and nucleus of neurons and is the only RCAN family member that is found in glial cells.
