Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C29924

A family of low molecular weight proteins that are characterized by the presence of two EF-hand calcium binding domains. These proteins form homodimers that localize either in the cytoplasm or nucleus of neural crest-derived cells and are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation.
