RCAN1 (regulator of calcineurin 1) inhibits the calcineurin-dependent transcriptional responses by binding to catalytic domain of calcineurin 1, a protein phosphatase involved in muscle cell differentiation/growth, T cell activation and new memory generation. Unphosphorylated RCAN1 binds/inhibits calcineurin, while RCAN1 phosphorylation at conserved serine residues interefere with this binding, resulting in increased calcineurin activity. RCAN1 over-expression mediated reduction in calcineurin activity alters the phosphorylation/activity of several calcineurin targets such as Munc18, dynamin 1, amphiphysin 1/2 and synaptojanin which are involved in exocytosis and vesicle recycling. Chronic alterations in calcineurin lead to transcriptional effects via calcineurin/NFAT signalling that regulates pre-synaptic neurotransmitter release. RCAN1 also affect exocytosis and quantal release kinetics via direct calcineurin independent mechanisms. RCAN1 is widely expressed in normal tissues/cell types with highest expression in neurons, and RCAN1 levels elevates in Down syndrome fetuses as well as Alzheimer patients, whereas, in Huntington disease RCAN1 - expression is found reduced. RCAN1 has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes, including oxidative stress, angiogenesis, mitochondrial function, immune responses and inflammation.
