Mutating the calmodulin gene would alter the ability of ____________ to act as a second messenger.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calmodulin binds to calcium and acts as a second messenger in signaling pathways. Mutating the calmodulin gene would alter its ability to bind to calcium and therefore affect the downstream signaling events mediated by calmodulin. Sodium, potassium, and cAMP are not directly involved in calmodulin-mediated signaling pathways.
