Abstract excerpt
Enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) colonize the gut during embryogenesis and migration defects give rise to Hirschsprung disease (HD). Mutations in GDNF/RET and EDN3/EDNRB are known to be causal in HD. Here, we show that migrating ENCCs in mice exhibit endogenous EDN3/EDNRB-gated calcium activity, mediated by chloride channels, T-type Ca2+ channels and inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular-store release....
