Cell Signalling: IP3 Receptors Channel Calcium into Cell Death
There is substantial evidence that Ca2+ fluxes occur during most forms of apoptosis, and that inhibiting such fluxes protects cells from death. IP3 receptors--ligand-gated channels that release Ca2+ from intracellular stores--are emerging as key sites for regulation by pro- and anti-apoptotic factors.
متن کاملCalcium signalling: How do IP3 receptors work?
The intracellular receptor for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is responsible for generation and control of very complex Ca2+ signals. New experimental approaches to studying the kinetics of the IP3 receptor are now beginning to give some insight into the mechanisms behind its rather bizarre properties.

Recent results indicate that 'regulators of G-protein signalling' may contribute to the generation of receptor-specific patterns of cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations by associating with specific receptors, accelerating G-protein inactivation and responding to changes in cytosolic Ca2+.
متن کاملCell calcium, cell injury and cell death.
The role of calcium in cell injury has been the subject of much recent investigation. The movement and redistribution of this cation from extra to intracellular compartments and the calcium shifts between intracellular compartments may well play a determinate role in the cell's reaction to injury. Therefore, data of such shifts and their correlation with morphological, biochemical and cytoskele...
متن کاملThe voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC): function in intracellular signalling, cell life and cell death.
Research over the last decade has extended the prevailing view of mitochondria to include functions well beyond the critical bioenergetics role in supplying ATP. It is now recognized that mitochondria play a crucial role in cell signaling events, inter-organelle communication, aging, many diseases, cell proliferation and cell death. Apoptotic signal transmission to the mitochondria results in t...
