[[Calmodulin]] (CaM) for Calcium-Modulated protein is an important protein that intervenes in a wide range of activities inflammation, metabolism, apoptosis, smooth muscle contraction, intracellular movement, short-term and long-term memory, and the immune response. | [[Calmodulin]] (CaM) for Calcium-Modulated protein is an important protein that intervenes in a wide range of activities inflammation, metabolism, apoptosis, smooth muscle contraction, intracellular movement, short-term and long-term memory, and the immune response. | ||

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. | 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. | ||
