Preferred Label : calmodulin;
MeSH definition : A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and
heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to
cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation.
Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.;
