Molecule model of the calcium-binding protein calmodulin (CaM). This molecule has four calcium ions (yellow) bound to it, the maximum number a single molecule can bind, and is therefore in its active state. CaM is found in all eukaryotic cells, where it regulates and modifies the activities of many calcium-binding enzymes. Cellular processes that CaM affects include muscle contraction, inflammation, immune response and memory. | |
