CPNE is a highly homologous protein first discovered in nematodes and plants. Nine CPNEs were originally discovered (CPNE1-9) and only 8 CPNEs were found in mammals (CPNE1-8). CPNE1-3 are the most widely distributed and are found in most mammalian tissues, this includes but is not limited to, the testis, kidney, brain, lung, heart, and intestine. (CPNE-1) was reported in 1998, where it was identified by isolating annexin in Paramecium.

CPNE-1 is a highly conservedCalcium-dependent membrane-binding proteins in different eukaryotes. In humans the CPNE1 gene encodes the, calcium dependant, Copine-1 protein which has an integrin A doman and two N-terminal type II C2 domains. Where the C2 domains act as calcium dependent phospholipid binding motifs and can be included in cell signaling or membrane trafficking pathways. However, the encoded protein does not contain a predicted signal sequence or transmembrane domains. CPNE-1 may also regulate molecular events at the interface of the cell membrane and cytoplasm. This protein has a broad tissue distribution and it may function in membrane trafficking. This gene and the gene for RNA binding motif protein 12 overlap at map location 20q11.21. Sequence analysis identified multiple alternatively spliced variants in the 5' UTR. All variants encode the same protein.
