Health | A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Calmodulin is a small, acidic protein approximately 148 amino acids long and, as such, is a favorite for testing protein simulation software. It is highly conserved across species, and its expression is essential for biological cells to progress through mitosis.
Calmodulin-stimulated protein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16) is the major calmodulin-binding protein in the brain.
Calmodulin belongs to one of the two main groups of calcium-binding proteins, called EF hand proteins. The other group, called annexins, bind calcium and phospholipid (e.g., lipocortin). Many other proteins bind calcium, although binding calcium may not be considered their principal function in the cell.
