title: Sequence of a human cDNA encoding Cab45, a Ca2+-binding protein with six EF-hand motifs.
abstract: We report the sequence of a human cDNA encoding a deduced 362 amino acid protein with six EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. The protein is a likely human counterpart of the Cab45 protein recently identified in the 3T3-L1 mouse adipocyte cell line [Scherer et al. (1996), J. Cell Biol. 133, 257-268], displaying 87% aa and 83% nt identity with this sequence. The mRNA for human Cab45 is detected ubiquitously in tissue Northern blots.
