Abstract

Calmodulin is a small thermostable protein which has been involved in the regulation of a number of cellular activities such as cyclic nucleotide and glycogen metabolism, smooth muscle contraction, intracellular motility, and calcium transport. Calmodulin is apparently present in all nucleated cells. High concentrations from 1–50μM have been reported from a variety of mammalian tissues.
