Recoverin also known as Rcvrn, is a heterogeneously acylated calcium-binding and intracellular signal transduction protein in the photoreceptor cells of retina. Recoverin contains four EF-hands, of which two bind Ca. Ca-induced extrusion of the acyl group from a hydrophobic cleft in the protein drives the translocation of recoverin from solution to the disc membrane. Recently, recoverin is a detectable serologic protein that is expressed in patients with cancer-associated retinopathy, a paraneoplastic syndrome. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa33-293 from mouse Recoverin, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
