Facts about Neurochondrin.
Acts as a negative regulator of Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CaMK2) phosphorylation. May play a role in modulating melanin- concentrating hormone-mediated functions via its interaction with MCHR1 that interferes with G protein-coupled signal transduction.
