=== CMLs (CaM-related proteins) ===
Plants contain CaM-related proteins (CMLs) apart from the typical CaM proteins. The CMLs have about 15% amino acid similarity with the typical CaMs. ''[[Arabidopsis thaliana]]'' contains about 50 different CML genes,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Yang |first1=Dong |last2=Chen |first2=Ting |last3=Wu |first3=Yushuang |last4=Tang |first4=Huiquan |last5=Yu |first5=Junyi |last6=Dai |first6=Xiaoqiu |last7=Zheng |first7=Yixiong |last8=Wan |first8=Xiaorong |last9=Yang |first9=Yong |last10=Tan |first10=Xiaodan |date=2024-02-21 |title=Genome-wide analysis of the peanut CaM/CML gene family reveals that the AhCML69 gene is associated with resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum |journal=BMC Genomics |volume=25 |issue=1 |pages=200 |doi=10.1186/s12864-024-10108-5 |doi-access=free |issn=1471-2164 |pmc=10880322 |pmid=38378471}}</ref> which leads to the question of what purpose these diverse ranges of proteins serve in the cellular function. All plant species exhibit this diversity in the CML genes. The different CaMs and CMLs differ in their affinity to bind and activate the CaM-regulated enzymes ''in vivo''. The CaM or CMLs are also found to be located in different organelle compartments.
