Abstract

Calmodulin, a calcium-modulated effector protein, is an important mediator of the intracellular actions of calcium through its interaction with calmodulin-binding proteins. We report here that the immunoreactive levels of a calmodulin-binding protein, myosin light-chain kinase, are decreased in transformed chicken embryo fibroblasts.
