The neurocalcin-δ (NCALD) gene is mapped to human chromosome 8q22.3. The encoded protein belongs to a large family of neuronal calcium (Ca2+) sensor (NCS) proteins and is a member of visinin-like protein (VILIP) subfamily. Neurocalcin-δ is also one of the EF-hand-containing Ca2+-binding proteins. It is predominantly expressed in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum and is also present in the olfactory epithelium.
Specificity
Anti-Neurocalcin-d specifically recognizes human and mouse neurocalcin-d.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence located near the N-terminus of human neurocalcin-δ, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse and rat neurocalcin-δ.
Application
Anti-Neurocalcin-δ antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Neurocalcin-δ (VILIP-3) is a neuronal calcium (Ca2+) sensor. It binds cooperatively to three Ca2+ ions. Neurocalcin-δ influences cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling in the retina, by acting as a regulator of the retinal guanylate cyclase (retGC1)/ photoreceptor membrane guanylyl cyclase 1 (ROSGC1). Neurocalcin-δ interacts with retGC1 in a calcium (Ca2+) dependent manner. It colocalizes with retGC1 in neurons in the inner plexiform layer of the retina, in amacrine and ganglion cells where it may influence synaptic signaling processes. Neurocalcin-δ has been shown to interact with actin, clathrin, and α- and β-tubulins, indicating that it may be involved with clathrin-coated vesicle traffic. It interacts and activates the olfactory guanylate cyclase ONE-GC, suggesting that it may function in regulating the odorant signaling pathway.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA as stabilizer and 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

We present prenatal diagnosis of an interstitial 8q22.2-q23.3 deletion associated with bilateral cleft lip and palate and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) on fetal ultrasound. A 29-year-old, primigravid woman underwent elective amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of anxiety. Amniocentesis
In a subset of olfactory epithelium the odorant receptor guanylate cyclase, ONE-GC, is a central transduction component of the cyclic GMP signaling pathway. The odorant binds to the extracellular domain and activates its intracellular catalytic domain to generate the odorant
