[[Calmodulin]] (CaM) – calcium modulated protein – regulates various protein targets. It is used by various proteins as calcium sensor and signal transducer by binding to their calcium binding domain (CBD). It undergoes conformational change upon binding Ca++ via its 4 [[EF hand]] motives and can undergo post-translational modification. | [[Calmodulin]] (CaM) – calcium modulated protein – regulates various protein targets.
