EF hand domain protein encodes a calmodulin. Can functionally complement a yeast CaM mutant. Unique member of the CAM family that works as a transcription factor in light signaling pathways; works in concert with CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 and ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5, and plays an important role in seedling development; involved in the regulation of the activity of various Ca2+-gated channels such as cyclic nucleotide gated channel 6 (CNGC6), CNGC14 and auto-inhibited Ca2+ ATPase 8.
