Mechanosensory isolation of C. elegans nematodes independently induces homeostatic structural changes in the dendritic tree and differential response to mechanical stimulation, both these structural and behavioral outcomes are mediated by degenerins and do not affect presynaptic calcium dynamics.

Complexes formed by calcium- and integrin-binding proteins 2 and 3 and transmembrane channel-like proteins 1 and 2 are essential for vertebrate hearing and balance and for fish lateral line function.

Analysis of Cabp1/2 double knockout phyenotype and rescue by viral delivery of Cabp2 identifies the interplay between two CaBPs to promote sustained synaptic transmission at the inner hair cell synapses.
