The protein encoded by this gene is a high affinity calcium ion-binding protein that is structurally and functionally similar to calmodulin and troponin C. The encoded protein is thought to be involved in muscle relaxation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.,D22S749,Parvalbumin,PVALB,parvalbumin,Neuroscience,Cell Type Marker,Calcium Signaling,Neuron marker,PVALB
