Target Details for Caldesmon

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

Alternative Name: Caldesmon

Background:

Synonyms: CALD1, CAD, CDM, Caldesmon, CDM

Background: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
