Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic calcium, which acts as a second messenger, is derived not only from outside the cell but also from intracellular stores. A receptor for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), an intracellular second messenger, is located on these internal calcium stores and functions as a calcium releasing channel. The "type 1" IP3 receptor (IP3R1) is concentrated predominantly in cerebellar Purkinje cells and is also...
