Calcium: The Molecular Basis of Calcium Action in Biology and Medicine

Abstract

For the interaction of calcium with calcium-binding proteins, which is a prerequisite for the translation of calcium signals into physiological answers, different calcium-binding motifs and thus different families of intracellular calcium-binding proteins have evolved. These families include the C2 domain-containing proteins, the annexins and the EF-hand calcium-binding proteins (Heizmann and Hunziker, 1991). The latter group constitutes a superfamily of proteins with more than 300 members. Within this superfamily, a major discrimination has been made between calcium-buffering and calcium-sensing proteins (Ikura, 1996).
