Anti-VSNL1 Antibody, clone 2D11

The protein VSNL1, Visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP, or VLP-1), or Hippocalcin-like protein 3 (HLP3) and encoded by the gene VSNL1/VISL1, is a calcium sensor protein that regulates calcium signaling pathways in neurons. In the retina VSNL1 regulates the inhibition of rhodopsin phosphorylation. VSNL1 is expressed specifically in the brain (and is particularly strong in the granule cells of the cerebellum), retina and PNS. VSNL1 levels are up regulated in Alzheimer′s disease but the significance is unknown at present. VSNL1 belongs to the recoverin family of neuronal specific proteins. Interestingly, new research seems so argue that VSHL1 can also be expressed by non-neuronal cells such as epidermal cells and may play a role as a tumor suppressor gene in squamous carcinoma cells and skin cancer.
