摘要
When calcium enters the cell it regulates a host of intracellular signalling processes, including activity of the channels that transported it in there. These voltage-gated Ca2+ channels can be either inactivated or stimulated by Ca2+, and it now turns out that both of these functions are modulated by the same molecule — the classical Ca2+receptor protein calmodulin.
