Calmodulin and Calcium-release Channels
Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in regulating cellular functions by altering the activity of a large number of ion channels. There are many examples for CaM directly mediating the feedback effects of Ca2+ on Ca2+ channels. Recently the molecular mechanis...
