title: Extracellular calmodulin-binding proteins in body fluids of animals.
abstract: The extracellular calmodulin-binding proteins (CaMBPs) were investigated in body fluids of animals by using the biotinylated calmodulin gel overlay method. Four major CaMBPs with molecular masses of 24, 31.5, 44/45 and 94 kDa were detected in serum, two of 24 and 63 kDa in bovine milk and three of 14, 24 and 52 kDa in human saliva. It suggested that extracellular CaMBPs exist commonly in body fluids of animals, and this result may provide a new clue for understanding the role of extracellular calmodulin.
