Calcium ions play a major role in the metabolism and physiology of eukaryotes cells, that's why calmodulin is important for the transport.

Calmodulin contains four Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding sites''' and the binding of calcium induces a conformational change in calmodulin that can cause the activation of key enzymes such as kinases or phosphatases proteins (especially phosphorylase kinases) which are not necessarily themselves Ca<sup>2+</sup>-sensitive and allows a large diversity of cellular response.
