| - | + | Function: Carp parvalbumin is a calcium binding Protein. | |
| - | + | Disease: Parvalbumin is not directly related to a diseased state. | |
| + | Relevance: The basic structural unit of calcium binding, the EF calcium binding site, is found | ||
| + | in other proteins such as troponin, involved in muscle contraction, and calmodulin, involved in signal transduction and many other processes. | ||
| + | Structural highlights: The protein contains eight alpha helices labelled, A, B, C, D, E, and F. | ||
| + | The EF hand contains the E helix in yellow, the loop, and the F helix in red. The calcium ion is green. | ||
| + | The CD hand contains the C helix in light green, the loop, and the D hand in dark green. The calcium ion is green. The A and B helices are dark blue and teal, respectively, and do not bind calcium. The remaining small molecule is acetaldehyde. | ||
