Introduction: Rise in Calcium (Ca2+) and hyperactive Ca2+-dependent phosphatase calcineurin represent two key determinants of a-synuclein (a-syn) pathobiology implicated in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Differential involvement of hippocampal calcineurin during learning and reversal learning in a Y-maze task [PDF]
The regulation and function of the calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin (CaN, protein phosphatase 2B) in learning and memory remain unclear, although recent work indicates that CaN may play a differential role in training and reversal training.

Calcineurin Inhibitor Toxicity in Solid Organ Transplantation
Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) have a substantial role in maintaining immunosuppression after solid organ transplantation (SOT). These drugs have a narrow therapeutic window, and individual doses and drug treatment monitoring are necessary.

Targeting CaN/NFAT in Alzheimer’s brain degeneration
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of cognitive functions. While the exact causes of this debilitating disorder remain elusive, numerous investigations have characterized its two core pathologies:

Regulation of the Ca2+-activated Cl− channel TMEM16A by Ca2+/calmodulin (CAM) is discussed controversially. In the present study, we compared regulation of TMEM16A by Ca2+/calmodulin (holo-CAM), CAM-dependent kinase (CAMKII), and CAM-dependent ...

A novel calcineurin splice variant that modifies calcineurin activity [PDF]
Calcineurin is a Ca2+/calmodulin dependent phosphoprotein phosphatase implicated in a wide range of disorders. Here, we report the cloning of a novel calcineurin Aα splice variant that lacks both the catalytic and calcineurin B binding domains. Biochemical analysis revealed a stimulating effect on calcineurin activity at low calcium concentrations as ...

The protein phosphatase calcineurin has long been familiar to the calcium community, but the definition of its physiological substrates has been far from complete. A new study rectifies this deficiency and sets the stage for new insights into the role of calcineurin in diverse cellular processes.
