== Calcium Binding ==

Each monomere of CASQ2 can bind between 18 to 50 Ca2+. The Ca2+ ions bind to two or more acidic amino acids like <scene name='56/568018/Glu/2'>Glutamate</scene> or <scene name='56/568018/Asp/3'>Aspartate</scene>. These amino acids are mainly outside the CASQ2 or in the C-terminal region. It had been shown that Ca2+ binds to an Asp-rich region on the C-terminal domain. When CASQ2 form homooligomers, Ca2+ can bind in the electronegative pocket due to the front-to-front form and back-to-back form.

Ca2+ is not the only ion which can bind to the CASQ2. One of them is Mg2+. The affinity is for Mg2+ is lower than the affinity for Ca2+ however the number of Ca2+ decrease. Another ion is H+. When the pH is low, more H+ will bind to the acidic amino acids and they can not bind Ca2+ anymore.
