Abstract

The calcium (Ca²⁺) signaling proteins are activated by a transient increase in free resting intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and regulate numerous cell process including disease conditions. The neuronal Ca²⁺ sensor-1, calmodulin, Ca²⁺/calmodulin dependent protein kinases, and calcineurin are some of the important Ca²⁺ signaling proteins known to play an important role various organisms and in human diseases, and have the potential as drug targets.
