Hippocalcin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HPCA gene.[1][2]

Hippocalcin is a calcium-binding protein that belongs to the neuronal calcium sensor (NCS) family of proteins.[3][4] It is expressed in mammalian brains especially in the hippocampus. It possesses a Ca2+/myristoyl switch.[5]
