General description

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. Calmodulin highly purified from bovine brain.
