Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 2 chromosomal region candidate gene 8 protein also known as calcium-response factor (CaRF) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ALS2CR8 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Hadano S, Hand CK, Osuga H, Yanagisawa Y, Otomo A, Devon RS, Miyamoto N, Showguchi-Miyata J, Okada Y, Singaraja R, Figlewicz DA, Kwiatkowski T, Hosler BA, Sagie T, Skaug J, Nasir J, ((Brown RH Jr)), Scherer SW, Rouleau GA, Hayden MR, Ikeda JE | title = A gene encoding a putative GTPase regulator is mutated in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 2 | journal = Nat Genet | volume = 29 | issue = 2 | pages = 166–73 |date=Oct 2001 | pmid = 11586298 | doi = 10.1038/ng1001-166 | s2cid = 52828189 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: ALS2CR8 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 2 (juvenile) chromosome region, candidate 8| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=79800}}

Knocking out the Carf (Als2cr8) gene in mice results in learning associated deficits. Furthermore, Carf has been shown to function as a transcription factor that regulates the expression of BDNF.{{cite journal | vauthors = Tao X, West AE, Chen WG, Corfas G, Greenberg ME | title = A calcium-responsive transcription factor, CaRF, that regulates neuronal activity-dependent expression of BDNF | journal = Neuron | volume = 33 | issue = 3 | pages = 383–95 |date=January 2002 | pmid = 11832226 | doi = 10.1016/S0896-6273(01)00561-X| s2cid = 10874584 | doi-access = free }}
