Differential expression of the three independent CaM genes coding for an identical protein: Potential relevance of distinct mRNA stability by different codon usage

Munk, Mads Villalobo Polo, Eduardo Villalobo, Antonio

The Ca2+-sensor protein calmodulin (CaM) is a major regulator of multiple cell functions. A unique and puzzling feature of human, and all so far investigated mammals, is the presence of three distinct CaM genes on different chromosomes, which code for identical proteins. How this case of apparent genetic redundancy evolved and why it could be...
