The Ca²⁺-binding protein (CaBP) parvalbumin (PV) is strongly expressed in cerebellar Purkinje neurones (PNs). It is considered a pure Ca²⁺ buffer, lacking any Ca²⁺ sensor function. Consistent with this notion, no PV ligand was found in dendrites of PNs. Recently, however, we observed for a related CaBP that ligand-targeting differs substantially between dendrites and axons. Thus, here we...
