The electroplax of the electric eel Electrophorus electricus is the most abundant source of the calcium-binding protein calmodulin. The electroplax has 250 times the amount of calmodulin and its mRNA than eel skeletal muscle. Our data suggest that there is no major difference in gene copies, the degree of methylation, or genome rearrangement of the calmodulin gene in DNAs from eel electroplax and muscle. Differences in the calmodulin-binding proteins in electroplax and muscle suggest a differential role for the functional expression of calmodulin in cellular regulation.
电鳗（Electrophorus electricus）的电板是钙结合蛋白钙调蛋白最丰富的来源。电板中的钙调蛋白及其mRNA含量是鳗鱼骨骼肌的250倍。我们的数据表明，电鳗电板和肌肉的DNA中，钙调蛋白基因的基因拷贝数、甲基化程度或基因组重排没有重大差异。电板和肌肉中钙调蛋白结合蛋白的差异表明，钙调蛋白在细胞调节中的功能表达具有不同的作用。
