Description

General description

A 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 highly 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.
