D M Waisman, and J I Smallwood, and D Lafreniere, and H Rasmussen

The chelex competitive calcium binding assay has been used to assay the calcium binding activity of the 100,000 X g supernatant of bovine heart and brain. Chromatography of brain 100,000 X g supernatant on diethylamino-ethyl (DEAE) cellulose reveals the presence of two peaks of calcium binding activity, peak I eluting at about 0.05 M NaCl and peak II at about 0.18 M NaCl. Chromatography of peak I on Sephadex G-150 resolves a major and a minor peak of calcium binding activity, at Mr 40,000 and Mr 150,000. Chromatography of peak II (0.18 M NaCl) on Sepharose 6B produces two peaks of calcium binding activity, a broad peak of calcium binding activity composed of two molecular weight species of Mr 230,000 and Mr 420,000, and a sharp peak of calcium binding activity with Mr 75,000. Chromatography of the 100,000 X g supernatant of bovine heart on DEAE Cellulose reveals two peaks of calcium binding activity. Chromatography of the lower ionic strength peak on Sephadex G-150 resolved major and minor peaks of calcium binding activity at Mr 65,000 and 150,000, respectively. The results of this study suggest the presence of several calcium binding proteins, other than calmodulin, in these tissues.

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
D001923 Brain Chemistry Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D002135 Calcium-Binding Proteins Proteins to which calcium ions are bound. They can act as transport proteins, regulator proteins, or activator proteins. They typically contain EF HAND MOTIFS.

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.
