Abstract
Calmodulin (CaM) is a multifunctional calcium-binding protein that modulates activity of many different ion channels, enzymes and other proteins. In vertebrates, CaM represents a unique case, where the exact same, invariant amino acid sequence is encoded by multiple genes on different chromosomes (three in case of the mouse and human). These multiple CaM genes have been hypothesized to afford high spatiotemporal resolution in the control of numerous CaM-dependent processes within highly specialized cells, such as neurons and cardiac myocytes.
