Calmodulin contents of cortex, cerebellum, striatum, diencephalon, and medulla + pons and of sub‐cellular fractions of each region were determined by radioimmunoassay. The diencephalon had the highest level of calmodulin (48.87 ± 4.56 μg/mg protein), whereas medulla + pons had the lowest level (8.01 ± 0.84 μg/mg protein). In all brain regions, the mitochondrial fraction was richest in calmodulin (from 71 to 227 μg/mg protein) whereas other areas contained from 6 to 66 μg/mg protein.
