The calcium- and integrin-binding protein (CIB) family, comprising four evolutionarily conserved members (CIB1, CIB2, CIB3, and CIB4), is characterized by canonical EF-hand motifs. The functions of CIBs in the inner ear have been investigated, although further research is still necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of them. Among the CIB family members, CIB2 is essential for auditory function. CIB3 and...
