Abstract excerpt
Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) is highly regulated in eukaryotic cells. The free [Ca2+]i is approximately four orders of magnitude less than that in the extracellular environment. It is, therefore, an electrochemical gradient favoring Ca2+ entry, and transient cellular activation increasing Ca2+ permeability will lead to a transient increase in [Ca2+]i. These transient rises of [Ca2+]i trigger or regulate...
