Calcium signalling plays a crucial role in the control of neuronal function and plasticity.
Changes in neuronal Ca 2+ concentration are detected by Ca 2+-binding proteins that can
interact with and regulate target proteins to modify their function. Members of the neuronal
calcium sensor (NCS) protein family have multiple non-redundant roles in the nervous
system. Here we review recent advances in the understanding of the physiological roles of
the NCS proteins and the molecular basis for their specificity.
