"When an activated molecule of Ca2+/calmodulin binds to its target protein,
the calmodulin further changes its conformation, the nature of which depends on
the specific target protein (Figure 15-33B). Among the many targets calmodulin
regulates are enzymes and membrane transport proteins. As one example, Ca2+/
calmodulin binds to and activates the plasma membrane Ca2+-pump that uses
ATP hydrolysis to pump Ca2+ out of cells. Thus, whenever the concentration of
Ca2+ in the cytosol rises, the pump is activated, which helps to return the cytosolic
Ca2+ level to resting levels (p876)."
