title: Specific in vitro activation of Ca,Mg-ATPase by vitamin D-dependent rat renal calcium binding protein (calbindin D28K).
abstract: The vitamin D-dependent, calcium-binding protein from rat kidney, calbindin D28k (renal CaBP) specifically stimulates Ca,Mg-ATPase activity of human erythrocyte plasma membranes in a dose-dependent, calcium-sensitive manner. This stimulation was about two-fold compared to a three-fold stimulation by calmodulin. The effect was specific since other calcium-binding proteins and low molecular weight proteins did not stimulate Ca,Mg-ATPase activity. Renal CaBP did not stimulate cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase at concentrations greater than those which stimulated Ca,Mg-ATPase activity. This is the first report of a specific in vitro effect of renal CaBP on an enzyme system.
