GlossaryCalcium-binding proteins

molecules that bind calcium ions, crucial for cellular processes

Calcium-binding proteins are molecules that can bind calcium ions (Ca2+), playing crucial roles in various cellular processes such as muscle contraction, nerve function, and cell signaling. Examples include calmodulin and troponin, which help regulate activities by changing their shape or function in response to calcium levels.
