“…Calcium‐binding proteins can be expressed in the cell nucleus (Bachs & Carafoli, ; Gilchrist & Pierce, ; Nash, Opas, & Michalak, ). CR expression, specifically, has been reported in the nucleus of neurons in the frontal cortex of the chinchilla (Krawczyk, Szalak, & Jaworska‐Adamu, ). The nuclear immunoreactivity is thought to be due to the low molecular weight variant of CR (29 kDa), which (due to its smaller size) can be passively transported through the nuclear pores where it may alter gene expression (Schwaller, Durussel, Jermann, Herrmann, & Cox, ).…”
