Parvalbumin
FunctionParvalbumin (PVA) is a calcium-binding albumin protein. PVA is involved in calcium signaling[1]. PVA contains 3 domains: AB, CD (N-terminal) and EF (C-terminal). See also Structural highlightsPVA contains a heptacoordinated Ca+2 ion binding to 7 oxygen atoms in a typical EF-hand coordination[2]. |
