hey guys
this may be a totally stupid question
but what is the action of calmodulin?
I always thought calcium bound to it in smooth muscle and then calmodulin activated myosin light chain kinase--->muscle contraction eventually
But UW says calmodulin binds and activates plasma membrane Ca-ATPase, which removes Ca from the cell by hydrolyzing ATP.
I'm so confused now:toosad: Does it do both?
