Abstract

Calcium is a ubiquitous intracellular messenger that plays an important role in co-ordinating the activities of neuronal cells. A family of neuronal calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs) has been identified as endogenous ligands that regulate calcium release from intracellular calcium stores. This project aims to characterise the expression, localisation and interactions of CaBPs with intracellular calcium channels, and also to determine the role that they play during physiological signalling in neurones.
