Effects of dietary calcium, phytoestrogen rich diets and estrogen on intestinal calcium transport proteins, egg and eggshell quality in maturing layer hens / Ali Asghar Saki.
Investigates whether estrogen modulates the proteins associated with calcium transport (eg calcium binding protein, calbindin D28k) in the intestinal tissue during sexual maturation of laying hens. Studies the temporal and spatial expression of estrogen receptors (ER) and calcium binding protein in …

Isolation, characterization and expression of calmodulin genes from carrot and Arabidopsis
Calmodulin is a highly conserved calcium-binding protein universally distributed among eukaryotes. Although the role of calmodulin in regulatory pathways in animals is well characterized, information on similar pathways in plants is limited. To better understand the role of calmodulin in plant …

The cloning of calmodulincDNAs from barley and Arabidopsis and expression of barley calmodulin in transgenic tobacco
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein found in eukaryotes, and appears to be essential for growth and development. CaM is thought to play a pivotal role in modulating biochemical pathways in conjunction with transient calcium fluxes into the cytoplasm. In order to better understand …

Epileptogenesis Causes Long-Term Plasticity Changes in Calbindin D-28k in the Rat Pilocarpine Model of Acquired Epilepsy
… the U.S. Emerging research has demonstrated that calcium, as a major second messenger system, underlies many of these injury-induced plasticity changes associated with the development of epilepsy. Recent evidence has suggested that long term elevations in neuronal resting calcium levels play a …

Localization of Calbindin-D<sub>28k</sub> in Extra-Embryonic Membranes of Two Oviparous Scincid Lizards.
<p>Calbindin-D<sub>28K</sub> is a cytosolic calcium binding protein found in a variety of cells that transport calcium. The chorioallantoic membrane and yolk sac of oviparous squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) transport calcium from the eggshell and yolk to the developing embryo. I used …

Specialization of a calmodulin-like protein: Androcam adopts a single conformation over the entire physiological range of calcium
The ubiquitous and highly conserved calcium binding protein calmodulin exhibits structural plasticity, broad target binding specificity and the ability to tune its affinity for Ca2+ ion. Collectively, these properties enable calmodulin to transduce biological calcium signals to hundreds of …
