A Ca<sup>2+</sup>‐binding protein with numerous roles and uses: parvalbumin in molecular biology and physiology
9 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Parvalbumins (PVs) are acidic, intracellular Ca(2+)-binding proteins of low molecular weight. They are associated with several Ca(2+)-mediated cellular activities and physiological processes. It has been suggested that PV might function as a "Ca2+ shuttle" transporting Ca2+ from troponin-C (TnC) to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ pump during muscle relaxation. Thus, PV may contribute to the performance of...
