Human calmodulin-like protein (CLP) expression in oral squamous mucosa and in malignant transformation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test whether calmodulin-like protein (CLP) is expressed in normal human oral mucosal cells and if downregulation of CLP occurs in malignant transformation.

Materials And Methods: Oral mucosal tissue was taken from three individuals in a double-blind manner. The samples were cut, measured, and homogenized.
