In long-term potentiation dealing with memory,what regulatory protein do calcium ions bind to?
A)kinase
B)calmodulin
C)CREB
D)CaMKII

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calcium ions bind to calmodulin, which then activates CaMKII, a kinase that is critical in many forms of synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation. CREB is a transcription factor that is activated downstream of CaMKII and is important for the long-term maintenance of memory. Therefore, choices B and D are both involved in the regulation of long-term potentiation, but B is the specific regulatory protein that calcium ions bind to.
