Calmodulin-binding proteins
Encyclopedia
Calmodulin-binding proteins are, as their name implies, proteins which bind calmodulin
.
Examples include:
Calmodulin
Calmodulin is a calcium-binding protein expressed in all eukaryotic cells...

Examples include:
- Gap-43 proteinGap-43 proteinGrowth Associated Protein 43 also known as Gap43 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GAP43 gene.Gap43 has been termed a 'growth' or 'plasticity' protein because it is expressed at high levels in neuronal growth cones during development, during axonal regeneration and is phosphorylated...
(presynaptic)
- NeurograninNeurograninNeurogranin is a calmodulin-binding protein expressed exclusively in the brain, particularly in dendritic spines, and participating in the protein kinase C signaling pathway. Neurogranin is the main postsynaptic protein regulating the availability of calmodulin, binding to it in the absence of...
(postsynaptic)
- CaldesmonCaldesmonCaldesmon is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CALD1 gene.Caldesmon is a calmodulin binding protein. Like calponin, caldesmon tonically inhibits the ATPase activity of myosin in smooth muscle....
