'''Anthrax edema factor''' (EF) or '''calmodulin-sensitive adenylate cyclase''' is an enzyme which is part of the ''Bacillus anthracis'' anthrax toxin.  The full anthrax toxin is composed of a cell-binding protein ([[Anthrax protective antigen|protective antigen]]), [[Anthrax Lethal Factor|lethal factor]] and EF. The EF is a calcium- and calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase.  The binding of calmodulin to EF changes it from its non-active form to the active one.<ref>PMID:15680766</ref> See also [[Toxins]].
