Calmodulin 2is aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theCALM2gene.[3][4]A member of thecalmodulinfamily of signaling molecules, it is an intermediary between calcium ions, which act as asecond messenger,and many intracellular processes, such as the contraction ofcardiac muscle.[5]

Clinical significance[edit]

Mutations in CALM2 are associated withcardiac arrhythmias.[6]In particular, severalsingle-nucleotide polymorphismsof CALM2 have been reported as potential causes ofsudden infant death syndrome.Due to their heritability, CALM2 mutations can affect multiple children in a family,[7]and the discovery of the deadly consequences of these mutations has led to challenges against the murder convictions of mothers of multiple deceased infants, as in the case ofKathleen Folbigg,acquitted after more than 20 years imprisonment, in Australia.[8]

Interactions[edit]

CALM2 has been shown tointeractwithAKAP9.[9][10]
