Calmodulin-like protein 6 (CALML6)

Calmodulin-like protein 6 (CALML6) is a member of the calmodulin family of calcium-binding proteins, characterized by EF-hand motifs that mediate calcium ion binding[1][2][6]. CALML6 is thought to play a role in intracellular calcium signaling pathways, which regulate diverse cellular processes such as muscle contraction, cell growth, immune responses, and potentially neurological functions[1][2]. It is expressed in a range of tissues, including brain, muscle, and immune cells, and is located in both the cytoplasm and nucleus[1][2][4][6]. While altered expression of CALML6 has been associated with certain types of cancer, neurological disorders, and infection responses[1][2], its precise physiological and pathological roles remain incompletely defined and are currently under investigation. No drugs are known to target this protein directly, and it is not an established therapeutic target based on current data[1][2][6].
