Biochemical Properties | The EF-hand domain-containing protein 1 (EFhd1), a homologous protein of EFhd2 has Ca2+-binding EF-hand motifs.The canonical EF-hand domain has two helix-loop-helix motifs comprising four helices (helix 1, helix 2, helix 3, and helix 4) and forms two hydrophobic clusters (I and II) (Denessiouk et al., 2014). Helices 1 and 4 form hydrophobic cluster I, comprising three aromatic residues, and helices 2 and 3 usually form hydrophobic cluster II, comprising a combination of aromatic, hydrophobic, and polar amino acids. |
