View source for INTRACELLULAR CALCIUM-BINDING PROTEINS

===== [[Summary Article|'''SUMMARY''']] =====
1. Many different Ca-binding proteins: troponin, calmodulin, calbindin. 
<br/>2. Troponin is involved in skeletal muscle contraction.
<br/>3. When calmodulin binds Ca it can activate 5 different kinases. 
<br/>
<br/>CALMODULIN KINASES
<br/>4. Myosin light-chain kinase: smooth muscle contraction
<br/>5. CaMKI and CaMKII: synaptic function
<br/>6. CaMKIII: protein synthesis
<br/>7. Calcuneurin: phosphatase that inactivetes Ca channels, for T-cell activation
