Calcineurin (CN), a highly conserved Ca2+/calmodulin-regulated phosphatase, is a critical component of many calcium-regulated processes in mammalian cells, including T cell activation, cardiac hypertrophy, learning and memory. CN is specifically inhibited by the immunosuppressant drugs cyclosporin A and tacrolimus (FK506), and these drugs have served as valuable reagents in identifying the role of CN in a wide...
