Calcium binding proteins in the brain

M R Celio. Arch Ital Anat Embriol. 1989 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

It is astonishing how a single ion, Ca++, can give rise to so many intracellular effects. The current explanation is that various combinations and permutations of a repertoire of calcium channels, calcium binding proteins and calcium pumps make up the individual answer of each neuronal type to the calcium signal. This review describes the major calcium binding proteins of the brain, which represent intracellular tools to decipher and transform the quantitative Ca+(+)-signal in qualitatively different cellular responses.
