| Parvalbumin is a calcium binding albumin protein. It has three EF hand motifs and is structurally related to calmodulin and troponin C. Parvalbumin is localized in fast-contracting muscles, where its levels are highest, and in the brain and some endocrine tissues. Parvalbumin is present in GABAergic interneurons in the nervous system, predominantly expressed by chandelier and basket cells in the cortex. |
