โฆ Synopsis
Calcium ions act as modulators of many fundamental processes in eukaryotic cells. Although these processes apparently involve initial interactions between calcium ions and cell membranes, the identity of the putative membrane Caz+binding proteins has until recently been
obscure. This article describes a recently discovered family of mammalian membrane proteins, of perhaps ancient origin, that mayfu&i this function.

Two cDNAs encoding closely related proteins were isolated from a crayfish nervous system gt10 cDNA library with a rat synapsin Ia cDNA probe. These proteins were expressed exclusively in neurons, were highly enriched in axons of the crayfish, and contained multiple, overlapping, putative Src homolog
