What else can I help you with?
A protein that binds the calcium in smooth muscle?
Calmodulin is a protein that binds calcium ions in smooth muscle cells. When calcium binds to calmodulin, it triggers a series of intracellular signaling events that lead to smooth muscle contraction.
What is the Site of calcium regulation in smooth muscle tissue?
Calmodulin on myosin heads
Where does calcium calmodulin system of contraction regulation is found?
Smooth muscle only.
What is The calcium calmodulin system of contraction regulation found in?
smooth muscle only
The site of calcium regulation in the smooth muscle cell is?
Calmodulin (a cytoplasmic calcium binding protein)
Which types of muscle tissue contain branching cells?
cardiac
Does cyclic amp bind to calmodulin?
No, calcium bonds to calmodulin
What does calcium bind to in smooth muscle contraction?
Calcium binds to the messenger protein Calmodulin. The calcium-calmodulin complex then activates myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), which phosphorylates myosin to allow it to bind to actin - producing contraction.
What is a calmodulin?
A calmodulin is a calcium-binding protein found in all nucleated cells.
What features do cell have?
muscle contain special proteins called contractile proteins, they contract and relax to cause movement. Muscles are generally of two types (1) voluntary muscle and (2) involuntary muscle.
Do muscle cells contain Cell Membranes?
All cells contain membranes, so yes. Did you take science?
How does vitamin D have effect calcium?
The protein channels responsible for the uptake of calcium ions from the lumen of the intestine into the bloodstream is calmodulin. VitaminD is required for action of calmodulin.
