Regional distribution of calmodulin activity in rat brain. 1985

L W Zhou, and J A Moyer, and E A Muth, and B Clark, and M Palkovits, and B Weiss

Calmodulin activity in 68 discrete areas of rat brain, obtained by micropunch technique, was assessed by its capacity to activate a calmodulin-sensitive form of phosphodiesterase. In general, the activity of calmodulin was higher in the telencephalon, limbic system, and hypothalamus than in the mesencephalon, pons, cerebellum, and medulla. However, there were substantial differences in calmodulin activity in discrete nuclei of each region. The regional distribution of calmodulin activity in rat brain does not appear to correlate with that of any of the known putative neurotransmitters or peptides.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.
