'''Parvalbumin (PVA)''' is a calcium-binding albumin protein. PVA is involved in calcium signaling<ref>PMID:11867433</ref>. PVA contains 3 domains each containing 2 helices: AB, CD (N-terminal) and EF (C-terminal). '''α-parvalbumin''' differs from '''β-parvalbumin''' in 54 positions. α-parvalbumin is expressed in various tissues while β-parvalbumin is expressed only in preterm placenta<ref>PMID:8354278</ref>. <br /> | '''Parvalbumin (PVA)''' is a calcium-binding albumin protein.
