Abstract excerpt

Calmodulin (CAM) participates in a variety of intracellular transduction processes by modulating signaling molecules in response to calcium changes. We report the characterization of Drosophila Cam mutants and the role of CAM in photoreceptor cell function. Contrary to current models of excitatio...
