Note

  • a calcium-binding protein; /biosyn /physiol permitted

Scope note

  • A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

History note

  • 84; was CALCIUM-DEPENDENT REGULATOR see under CALCIUM-BINDING PROTEINS 1980-83; was CALCIUM-DEPENDENT REGULATOR see under CARRIER PROTEINS 1979
