Calcineurin is a major calmodulin binding protein in the brain. It is a holoenzyme composed of a calmodulin binding subunit, a catalytic alpha subunit (calcineurin A) and a calcium binding beta subunit (calcineurin B). The calcineurin A subunit has at least two isoforms in bovine brain; alpha 1 (61kD) and alpha 2 (59kD).
