Function | Neuronal calcium sensor, regulator of G protein-coupled receptor phosphorylation in a calcium dependent manner. Directly regulates GRK1 (RHOK), but not GRK2 to GRK5. Can substitute for calmodulin (By similarity). Stimulates PI4KB kinase activity (By similarity). Involved in long-term synaptic plasticity through its interaction with PICK1 (By similarity). May also play a role in neuron differentiation through inhibition of the activity of N-type voltage- gated calcium channel (By similarity). |

Membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P62168}; Lipid-anchor Note=Associated with Golgi stacks. Post-synaptic densities of dendrites, and in the pre-synaptic nerve terminal at neuromuscular junctions. {ECO:0000305, ECO:0000305|PubMed:17555535} |

Background
The neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) protein binds to calcium thro µgh EF-hand motifs, are expressed in neurons. They are implicated in the regulation of neurotransmitters released at the neuromuscular junctions. NCS-1 is widely distributed in the brain, spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia. It has been shown to regulate neurosecreation in a calcium-dependent manner, potentiates nitric oxide synthase activity. NCS-1 has been reserved to indicate the protein observed in humans and mammals.
