Calcineurin in development and disease
摘要
Abstract
Calcineurin (CaN) is a unique calcium (Ca
2+
) and calmodulin (CaM)-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase that becomes activated in the presence of increased intracellular Ca
2+
level. CaN then functions to dephosphorylate target substrates including various transcription factors
receptors
and channels. Once activated
the CaN signaling pathway participates in the development of multiple organs as well as the onset and progression of various diseases via regulation of different cellular processes. Here
we review current literature regarding the structural and functional properties of CaN
highlighting its crucial role in the development and pathogenesis of immune system disorders
neurodegenerative diseases
kidney disease
cardiomyopathy and cancer.
