abstract：:The Ca(2+)-binding protein calbindin D28k (CB) is vital for the normal function of the central nervous system but its specific functional role is largely unclear. CB is typically described as a mobile Ca(2+)buffer that shapes the spatiotemporal extent of cellular Ca(2+)signals. Recent biochemical data, however, indica...
