Background
This gene encodes a member of the EF-hand calcium-binding protein family. It is one of three genes which encode an identical calcium binding protein which is one of the four subunits of phosphorylase kinase. Two pseudogenes have been identified on chromosome 7 and X. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009],
Function
function:Calmodulin mediates the control of a large number of enzymes and other proteins by Ca(2+). Among the enzymes to be stimulated by the calmodulin-Ca(2+) complex are a number of protein kinases and phosphatases. Together with CEP110 and centrin, is involved in a genetic pathway that regulates the centrosome cycle and progression through cytokinesis.,miscellaneous:This protein has four functional calcium-binding sites.,PTM:Phosphorylation results in a decreased activity.,PTM:Ubiquitination results in a strongly decreased activity.,similarity:Belongs to the calmodulin family.,similarity:Contains 4 EF-hand domains.,subcellular location:Distributed throughout the cell during interphase, but during mitosis becomes dramatically localized to the spindle poles and the spindle microtubules.,subunit:Interacts with MYO1C (By similarity). Interacts with CEP97, CEP110, TTN/titin and SRY.,
