Calmodulin-activated calcium ATPase is a transport enzyme which establishes the normal level of intracellular ionized calcium in most cells. We have determined values for three parameters of this enzyme: E-t, the concentration in the membrane; Vmax, the maximal velocity, and Ka, the binding affinity for calmodulin. We assayed these parameters in erythrocyte membranes from lithium carbonate-treated bipolar subjects and from normal controls. Bipolar subjects have significantly increased levels of E-t compared with normal controls.

D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.
