Identification of CP12 as a Novel Calcium-Binding Protein in Chloroplasts
Plants, 2013 Calcium plays an important role in the regulation of several chloroplast processes. However, very little is still understood about the calcium fluxes or calcium-binding proteins present in plastids.

S100 Calcium-Binding Proteins and Ion Channels
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 S100 Ca2+-binding proteins have been associated with a multitude of intracellular Ca2+-mediated functions including regulation of the cell cycle, cell differentiation, cell motility and apoptosis, modulation of membrane-cytoskeletal interactions ...

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]
, 1998 The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.

Comparison of VILIP-1 and VILIP-3 binding to phospholipid monolayers.
PLoS ONE, 2014 The neuronal calcium sensor proteins Visinin-like Proteins 1 (VILIP-1) and 3 (VILIP-3) are effectors of guanylyl cyclase and acetyl choline receptors, and transduce calcium signals in the brain.

S100 Proteins—Intracellular and Extracellular Function in Norm and Pathology
BiomoleculesThe S100 proteins are small, ubiquitous, mostly homodimeric proteins containing two EF-hand structures, that is, helix-loop-helix motifs specialized in high-affinity calcium-binding (~10−6 M) [...]

In silico prediction and analysis of Caenorhabditis EF-hand containing proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Calcium (Ca⁺²) is a ubiquitous messenger in eukaryotes including Caenorhabditis. Ca⁺²-mediated signalling processes are usually carried out through well characterized proteins like calmodulin (CaM) and other Ca⁺² binding proteins (CaBP).

Junctate is a key element in calcium entry induced by activation of InsP3 receptors and/or calcium store depletion [PDF]
, 2004 In many cell types agonist-receptor activation leads to a rapid and transient release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores via activation of inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptors (InsP(3)Rs).

Dynamics and Epigenetics of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
EpigenomesEpidermis is the outer skin layer built of specialized cells called keratinocytes. Keratinocytes undergo a unique differentiation process, also known as cornification, during which their gene expression pattern, morphology and other properties change ...

Two structural motifs within canonical EF-hand calcium-binding domains identify five different classes of calcium buffers and sensors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Proteins with EF-hand calcium-binding motifs are essential for many cellular processes, but are also associated with cancer, autism, cardiac arrhythmias, and Alzheimer's, skeletal muscle and neuronal diseases.
