Revision10-February-2010 JSW
SynonymsCaM, Ca2+/Calmodulin
DescriptionA ubiquitous Ca2+-binding protein distributed in eukaryotic cells that serves as a major physiological effector for a wide range of cellular responses. The Ca2+-calmodulin complex is involved in the maintenance of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, as well as in the regulation of the intracellular concentration of other second messengers, such as cyclic AMP and inositol trisphosphate. Calmodulin purified from bovine brain.

Note: This product is not to be used for animal treatment, in vivo research or in any other contact procedure with livestock.
