Notes: CALP3 is a calcium-like peptide that contains the first eight residues of CALP2, which is a 12-residue peptide that interacts with EF hand motif 4 in human calmodulin to activate it in the absence of calcium.{39607} It acts as a cell-permeable inhibitor of calcium influx through glutamate receptor channels in cultured rat neocortical neurons (IC50 = 37.25 µM) thereby inhibiting excitatory cytotoxicity (IC50 = 50.97 µM) and apoptosis (IC50 = 33.41 µM).{39608}
