Target Details for Caldesmon

Target: Caldesmon (CALD1) (Caldesmon 1 (CALD1))

Alternative Name: CALD1

Background:

Synonyms: Caldesmon,CDM,CALD1,CAD, CDM,

Tissue Specificity: High-molecular-weight caldesmon (isoform 1) is predominantly expressed in smooth muscles, whereas low-molecular- weight caldesmon (isoforms 2, 3, 4 and 5) are widely distributed in non-muscle tissues and cells. Not expressed in skeletal muscle or heart.

Background: Caldesmon is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CALD1 gene. It is mapped to 7q33. This gene encodes a calmodulin- and actin-binding protein that plays an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction. The conserved domain of this protein possesses the binding activities to Ca (2+)-calmodulin, actin, tropomyosin, myosin, and phospholipids. This protein is a potent inhibitor of the actin-tropomyosin activated myosin MgATPase, and serves as a mediating factor for Ca (2+)-dependent inhibition of smooth muscle contraction. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
