Emerging roles of the single EF-hand Ca2+ sensor tescalcin in the regulation of gene expression, cell growth and differentiation

Abstract: Tescalcin (TESC, also known as calcineurin-homologous protein 3, CHP3) is a 24-kDa EF-hand Ca2+-binding protein that has recently emerged as a regulator of cell differentiation and growth. The TESC gene has also been linked to human brain abnormalities, and high expression of tescalcin has been found in several cancers. The expression level of tescalcin changes dramatically during development and upon signal-induced cell differentiation. Recent studies have shown that tescalcin is not only subjected to up- or … Show more

“…The sequence similarity between TESC and calcineurin B-homologous proteins 1 and 2 (CHP1 and CHP2) is substantial [27,28]. CHP1 is expressed ubiquitously in all tissues [29,30], whereas CHP2 is expressed in the small intestine and several cancers, including hepatic carcinoma, leukemia, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer [31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Tescalcin (TESC), also known as calcineurin B homologous protein 3 (CHP3), was first discovered as a differentially expressed gene in the development of embryonic mouse testis [ 6 ]. Since TESC contained an EF-hand motif that is characteristic of a large family of Ca 2+ -binding proteins, it is supposed to be involved in cell growth and differentiation [ 7 ]. Previous studies have proved that abnormal expression of the TESC was associated with many types of malignant tumors including melanoma, gastric cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer [ 8 10 ].…”
