Neuronal Calcium Sensor is a large family of proteins which work as calcium dependent molecular switches and includes members like Frequenin (NCS1), recoverin, GCAP, neurocalcin, visinin etc.^[1] All the members carry 4 EF hand motifs (out of which only 2 or 3 bind calcium) and an N-myristoyl group.^[2]
