Neuronal Calcium-Sensor Proteins

Medical Dictionary -> Neuronal Calcium-Sensor Proteins

Neuronal Calcium-Sensor Proteins


A family of intracellular calcium-sensing proteins found predominately in NEURONS and PHOTORECEPTORS. 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.
