Extracellular calcium sensing and extracellular calcium signaling.
The cloning of a G protein-coupled extracellular Ca(2+) (Ca(o)(2+))-sensing receptor (CaR) has elucidated the molecular basis for many of the previously recognized effects of Ca(o)(2+) on tissues that maintain systemic Ca(o)(2+) homeostasis, especially parathyroid chief cells and several cells in the kidney. The availability of the cloned CaR enabled the development of DNA and antibody probes f...
متن کاملIntercellular calcium signaling induced by extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate and mechanical stimulation in airway epithelial cells.
Airway epithelial cells in culture respond to extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) by increasing their intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The effective concentration of ATP that elicited a Ca2+ response equal to 50% of the maximal response (EC50) was 0.5 microM. Release of ATP from a pipette to form a local gradient of ATP increased [Ca2+]i of individual cells in a sequential ...
متن کاملCalcium-sensing receptor activation induces intracellular calcium oscillations.
Parathyroid hormone secretion is exquisitely sensitive to small changes in serum Ca2+ concentration, and these responses are transduced via the Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaR). We utilized heterologous expression in HEK-293 cells to determine the effects of small, physiologically relevant perturbations in extracellular Ca2+ on CaR signaling via phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C, using changes in...
متن کاملAnother dimension to calcium signaling: a look at extracellular calcium.
Cell biologists know the calcium ion best as a vital intracellular second messenger that governs countless cellular functions. However, the recent identification of cell-surface detectors for extracellular Ca(2+) has prompted consideration of whether Ca(2+) also functions as a signaling molecule in the extracellular milieu. The cast of Ca(2+) sensors includes the well-characterized extracellula...
متن کاملCalcium-Sensing Receptor: A Key Target for Extracellular Calcium Signaling in Neurons
Though both clinicians and scientists have long recognized the influence of extracellular calcium on the function of muscle and nervous tissue, recent insights reveal that the mechanisms allowing changes in extracellular calcium to alter cellular excitability have been incompletely understood. For many years the effects of calcium on neuronal signaling were explained only in terms of calcium en...
