Context:

Calcium ions (Ca2+) are vital intracellular messengers regulating numerous cellular functions.
The EF-hand superfamily represents a major class of calcium-binding proteins.
Recent discoveries have identified novel EF-hand proteins within the vertebrate retina.

Purpose:

To review the known functions of EF-hand proteins in the retina.
To explore the potential roles of newly identified retinal EF-hand proteins.
To discuss the implications of these proteins in neurological diseases.

Summary:

This review focuses on EF-hand calcium-binding proteins, essential for cellular signaling.
It highlights recent findings of new EF-hand protein family members in the vertebrate retina.
