Calcyphosine, also known as CAPS, is a calcium-binding protein containing four EF-hand domains. CAPS is initially identified as thyroid protein p24 that is found in several epithelium and in some cells of the central nervous system. It may play a role in the regulation of ion transport. In thyroid follicular cells, CAPS is synthesized and phosphorylated in response to stimulation by thyrotropin and cAMP agonists. Recombinant human CAPS protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Synonyms: Calcyphosine, CAPS1, Calcyphosin.
