Some peculiarities of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange reaction in choline, tetramethylenammonium and Tris media.
N a + C a 2 + exchange has been well defined in the membranes of excitable tissues. Its main role is suggested to be the extrusion of calcium from the cells at the expense of t ransmembrane electrochemical sodium gradient. T h e system has been studied in detail m vitro in membrane vesicles loaded with sodium ions and transferred into media containing ions other t h a n sodium (e.g. Philipson 1...
متن کاملBiological excitable media based on non-excitable cells and calcium signaling
In this paper, we investigate a design of biological excitable media based on non-excitable cells and intercellular calcium signaling mechanisms. The calcium induced calcium release mechanism in non-excitable cells is exploited to transform the non-excitable cells into excitable media that propagate calcium signals cell-to-cell. The biological excitable media investigated in this paper represen...
متن کاملRelation between reverse sodium-calcium exchange and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release in guinea pig ventricular cells.
Exchange-inhibitory peptide (XIP) can inhibit sodium-calcium exchange without inhibiting L-type calcium current (ICa). We therefore used this compound to test the hypothesis that reverse sodium-calcium exchange can trigger contraction in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. When cells were dialyzed with 20 mmol/L sodium, rapid blockade of ICa with nifedipine had little effect on cell shortening. Ho...
متن کاملSodium- and Calcium-dependent Mechanisms in the Action Potential of the Secretory Epithelium of a Clam Mantle
The secretory epithehum of the mantle of the clam Anomalocardia brasiliana is excitable. The ionic dependence of its action potentials was investigated. Two distinct phases could be recognized by their ionic dependences. The early spike phase, that appeared in all action potentials, was dependent on the Na concentration of the solution in the interstitial space and was insensitive to tetrodotox...
متن کاملThe regulatory function of plasma-membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) in the heart.
The PMCA (plasma-membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase) is a ubiquitously expressed calcium-extruding enzymatic pump important in the control of intracellular calcium concentration. Unlike in non-excitable cells, where PMCA is the only system for calcium extrusion, in excitable cells, such as cardiomyocytes, PMCA has been shown to play only a minor role in calcium homoeostasis compared with the NCX (sodium/ca...
