Calmodulin, Human Brain

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Calmodulin purifed from human brain.

Calmodulin purifed from human brain. Calmodulin is a ubiquitous Ca²⁺-binding protein distributed in eukaryotic cells that serves as a major physiological effector for a wide range of cellular responses. The Ca²⁺-calmodulin complex is involved in the maintenance of intracellular Ca²⁺ homeostasis, as well as in the regulation of the intracellular concentration of other second messengers, such as cyclic AMP and inositol trisphosphate.
