Developmental pattern of calbindin D28k protein expression in the rat striatum and cerebral cortex
open access
Abstract
Calbindin D28k stabilises the intracellular calcium level, preventing calcium-induced apoptotic cell death in neurons. Thus, changes in calbindin D28k expression might be related to its neuroprotective role in differentiation and synaptogenesis during the postnatal development of the brain.
