Summary: Predicted to enable calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine phosphatase regulator activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; and short-term memory. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; immune system; liver; retina; and stomach. Orthologous to human RCAN2 (regulator of calcineurin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RCANs play critical roles in bone homeostasis by regulating both osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis, and they serve as inhibitors for calcineurin-NFATc1 signaling both in vivo and in vitro.
Title: RCANs regulate the convergent roles of NFATc1 in bone homeostasis.
our results indicate that Rcan2 and estradiol might regulate body weight through different mechanisms in female mice. Rcan2 increases food intake and promotes weight gain, while estradiol increases energy expenditure possibly by regulating physical activity.
Title: Rcan2 and estradiol independently regulate body weight in female mice.
Rcan2 and Rps6kb1 mutations both affect growth and body weight of mice, though likely through different mechanisms

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
