Calbindin

Calbindin is a protein found in various tissues in the body, particularly in the brain and intestines. It plays a crucial role in binding calcium, a vital mineral necessary for many bodily functions, including muscle contractions, nerve signaling, and bone health. By helping to regulate calcium levels, calbindin ensures that cells have the right amount of calcium to function effectively. Its presence is especially important during periods of growth or in maintaining healthy brain function, and it may also be linked to responses to certain neurological conditions.
