Gene:
calmodulin 1 (phosphorylase kinase, delta)
Gene ID:
209227
Symbol:
CALM1
Species:
1000
Description:
Calmodulin is the archetype of the family of calcium-modulated proteins of which nearly 20 members have been found. They are identified by their occurrence in the cytosol or on membranes facing the cytosol and by a high affinity for calcium. Calmodulin contains 149 amino acids and has 4 calcium-binding domains. Its functions include roles in growth and the cell cycle as well as in signal transduction and the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters.[supplied by OMIM]
