Abstract excerpt
Recoverin, a member of the EF-hand superfamily, serves as a calcium sensor in retinal rod cells. A myristoyl or related fatty acyl group covalently attached to the N-terminus of recoverin facilitates the binding of recoverin to retinal disk membranes by a mechanism known as the Ca2+-myristoyl swi...
