Abstract excerpt
The maintenance of intracellular ionized calcium (iCa2+) in the submicromolar range is important for mesangial cell (MC) function, and, as in most mammalian cells, plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPases (PMCA) play an important role in the homeostatic process. Molecular studies have demonstrated four PMCA isoforms, each with multiple splice variants. The present study examines the expression of PMCA isoforms and...
