Calmodulin has been known to act as an intracellular calcium sensor protein. When the intracellular Ca2+ concentration increases, calmodulin can bind up to four Ca2+, changing its conformation and regulating cellular functions such as activation or inhibition of a large number of enzymes, ion channels, and receptors. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-149 of human Calmodulin 2 expressed in E. coli.
