calcium-binding protein of thesarcoplasmic reticulum . The protein helps hold calcium in thecisterna of the sarcoplasmic reticulum after a muscle contraction, even though the concentration of calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum is much higher than in the cytosol. It also helpssarcoplasmic reticulum store an amazing amount of calcium ions.ee also
