Abstract excerpt
Ca2+ signaling governs a diverse range of cellular processes and, as such, is subject to tight regulation. A main component of the complex intracellular Ca2+-signaling network is the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R), a tetrameric channel that mediates Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in response to IP3. IP3R function is controlled by a myriad of factors, such as Ca2+, ATP,...
