Calcium is involved in most cellular processes through calcium-binding proteins, belonging to the EF-hand superfamily. Recently new members of this family were found in the retina of vertebrates. Functions of these proteins and their relations to some neurological diseases are reviewed. Other EF-hand proteins found in the retina are also described.
