Question

choose the correct option calmodulin is a a) calcium binding protein b) iron degradation protein c) iron transport protein d) copper binding protein​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A. Calcium binding protein

Explanation:

Calmodulin is expressed in all eukayotic cell. It is a calcium-binding messenger protein which helps in activation of other protein. The activation is mainly caused by phosphorylation of target protein. For example, during smooth muscle contraction the calcium ions binds to calmodulin activating it, the activated calmodulin activates MLC kinase which causes phosphorylates the myosin heads thereby initiating the muscle contraction

So, the correct answer is option A.
