General informationThis section has been translated automatically.
The protein encoded by this gene, also known as calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand, (the protein functions similarly to cyclosporin A) is a signaling protein recognized by the TNF receptor TACI. Like cyclosporin A, it binds to cyclophilin B and acts downstream of TCR and upstream of calcineurin by causing calcium influx. Calcium modulating ligand is required for the stability of GET1. CAMLG stimulates calcium signaling in T cells through its involvement in increasing intracellular calcium. It is essential for the survival of peripheral follicular B cells.
