Four EF-hand DomainsEach EF-hand consists of a conserved 12-residue loop flanked by two α-helices (E and F helices)
N-terminal DomainContains EF-hands 1 and 2, with lower Ca²⁺ affinity
C-terminal DomainContains EF-hands 3 and 4, with higher Ca²⁺ affinity
Central LinkerFlexible linker allows conformational changes upon Ca²⁺ binding
CaMKII/IVCalcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases critical for synaptic plasticity
Associated Diseasesneurodegeneration
