Protein Domain : Uncharacterised protein family, calcium binding protein, CcbP IPR020994

Type	Family
Description	CcbP is a Ca(2+) binding protein found in bacteria which is thought to bind Ca(2+) by protein surface charge. When bound to Ca(2+), the protein becomes more compact and the level of free calcium decreases. Within the bacteria, Ca(2+) has a role in the early stages of heterocyst differentiation. The free Ca(2+) concentration which is regulated by CcbP is critical for the differentiation process [ ]. Calcium signalling is widespread in bacterial species, and prokaryotic cells like eukaryotes are equipped with all the elements to maintain Ca2+ homeostasis [].
