This gene encodes a protein that interacts with calmodulin and several transient receptor potential canonical cation channel proteins. The encoded protein may function as an adaptor to localize signal transduction machinery to calcium channels. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Enkurin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ENKUR gene.

Enkurin interacts with transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) cation channels (e.g., TRPC1) and functions as an adaptor protein, tethering signal transduction proteins to TRPC channels.
