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.<ref name="pmid17311005">{{cite journal | author = Burgoyne RD| title = Neuronal calcium sensor proteins: generating diversity in neuronal Ca2+ signalling| journal = Nat.
