Introduction: Calcium is the central second messenger in the regulation of insulin release from the pancreatic β-cell. Transduction and efficacy of intracellular calcium signaling mainly depends on calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs) like calbindin-D28k (CALB), secretagogin (SCGN), calmodulin (CALM) and calreticulin (CALR). In pancreatic b-cells, the proposed functional role of these CaBPs includes the modulation of insulin secretion (CALB), influences on calcium influx and insulin transcription (SCGN), or modulation of insulin release via protein phosphorylation by calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CAL…
