The Homer family of proteins consists of three adaptor proteins, Homer1, Homer2 and Homer3, each with various isoforms. Homer1 family presents an EVH1 domain, a coiled coil domain and two leucine zipper domains. Homer proteins regulate a number of Ca2+‐handling proteins, including transient receptor potential channels and other Ca2+‐permeable channels, ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors, shank scaffolding proteins or endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels. This review article focuses on the association of Homer 1 proteins with Ca2+‐handling proteins and their role on intracellular Ca2+‐homeostasis. © 2013 IUBMB Life, 65(6):–, 2013
