Target Information

Calbindin-D-28K (also termed vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, or cholecalcin) is a highly conserved 28 kDa calcium-binding protein with broad tissue distribution. It belongs to the family of low molecular weight calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs), including calmodulin, S-100, parvalbumin, and troponin C. These CaBPs share homologous primary structures with conserved EF-hand motifs for Ca²⁺ binding.

Calbindin-D-28K is predominantly found in subpopulations of central and peripheral nervous system neurons and in epithelial cells involved in calcium transport, such as distal tubular cells and cortical collecting tubules of the kidney, as well as in enteric neuroendocrine cells.
