A conserved family of calcineurin-regulating proteins whose members have been implicated in several disease models such as Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiac hypertrophy has been identified in several organisms including yeast, mice, and humans. We have characterized Caenorhabditis elegans rcn-1, which belongs to this family of calcineurin regulators, and shows approximately 40% identity with the...
