Abstract
The role of calcium ions (Ca 2+ ) in cell functions is beginning to be unraveled at the molecular level as a result of recent research on calcium-binding proteins and particularly on calmodulin. These proteins interact reversibly with Ca 2+ to form a protein ⋅ Ca 2+ complex, whose activity is regulated by the cellular flux of Ca 2+ . Many of the effects of Ca 2+ appear to be exerted through calmodulin-regulated enzymes.This publication has 120 references indexed in Scilit:
