Centrin: History, Function & Structure

Centrins, also known as caltractins, are a family of calcium-binding phosphoproteins found in the centrosome of eukaryotes. Centrins are small calcium binding proteins that are ubiquitous centrosome components. There are about 350 "signature" proteins that are unique to eukaryotic cells but have no significant homology to proteins in archaea and…
