Abstract: Abstract:Ca2+ signaling pathway includes two Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways, calcineurin(CaN) and calmodulin kinase(CaMK), which are all activated to promote the transition from fast muscle fibers to slow muscle fibers. This review summarized the structure of CaN and CaMK, the mechanism of action and related research of the Ca2+ signaling pathway, the main factors affecting the regulation of Ca2+ signaling pathway, the role of Ca2+ signaling pathway in the transformation of muscle fiber type and the relationship with meat quality. Forecast the future direction of research, it will provide theoretical basis for improve meat quality through genetic and nutritional measures.

Key words: CaN pathway, CaMK pathway, muscle fiber type transformation, meat quality
