Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and magnesium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium ion homeostasis. Expressed in cholinergic neurons and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Usher syndrome type 1J and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 48. Is an ortholog of human CIB2 (calcium and integrin binding family member 2) and CIB3 (calcium and integrin binding family member 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
