Hello, Is there a way to test for Calmodulin activity in humans? Is this something that can be tested for in a blood test?
Is there ALSO a way to test for Calmodulin- like protein in humans?
If not available in a blood test, what other methods are available to test for this activity in humans?
Thank you, Brooks
You can buy an ELISA kit to measure the amount of calmodulin in a sample. Here is one example:

Dear Brooks,
If you want to compare the calmodulin levels between different groups, the western blot technique is suitable. I used it to compare blood samples from healthy and diabetic patients and the results were very clear (Gallego et al., Cell Physiol Biochem. 2008). The blood cells have calmodulin enogh to be easily resolved by WB. However, since this technique is not cuantitative it is suitable only to compare different groups,

Thank you, I would like to compare groups who have contracted Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)
