Neuronal Calcium-Sensor Proteins

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: A family of intracellular calcium-sensing proteins found predominately in NEURONS and PHOTORECEPTOR CELLS. They contain EF HAND MOTIFS and undergo conformational changes upon calcium-binding. Neuronal calcium-sensor proteins interact with other regulatory proteins to mediate physiological responses to a change in intracellular calcium concentration.     
Examples Guanylate Cyclase-Activating Proteins; Hippocalcin; Kv Channel-Interacting Proteins; Neurocalcin; Recoverin 		Other names Neuronal Calcium Sensor Proteins; Calcium-Sensor Proteins, Neuronal
