The protein encoded by this gene is similar to that of KIP/CIB, calcineurin B, and calmodulin. The encoded protein is a calcium-binding regulatory protein that interacts with DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunits (DNA-PKcs), and it is involved in photoreceptor cell maintenance. Mutations in this gene cause deafness, autosomal recessive, 48 (DFNB48), and also Usher syndrome 1J (USH1J). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

A study in rats demonstrated that the CIB2 gene, which is involved in calcium ion binding, was decreased in plantaris muscle by miR-184, miR-342, and miR-484 in response to hindlimb unloading [Song et al. DOI:10.1097/BCR.0000000000000444]. In human plasma, exosomal mRNA for the CIB2 was identified as one of the top downregulated markers in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to healthy controls [He et al. DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2021.712061].
