[The calcium messenger system].

چکیده
Calcium ion acts as an intracellular messenger of various types of extracellular signals including hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines and growth factors. Recent advances in the research of the calcium messenger system have provided informations as to the structure and function of many proteins involved in the messenger system. Also, technical advances in the measurement of the dynamics of calcium ion in a small cell have made it possible to better understand the role of calcium in the activation of the cell. In the present review, a picture of the calcium messenger system is presented.

Possible Mechanisms for The Effects of Calcium Defi-ciency on Male Infertility
Calcium (Ca) is a significant element that acts as an intracellular second messenger. It is necessary for many physiological processes in spermatozoa including spermatogenesis, sperm motility, capacitation, acrosome reaction and fertilization. Although influences of Calcium deficiency on sperm function and male infertility have been widely studied, mechanisms for these abnormalities are not wel...
متن کاملMultiple second-messenger system modulation of voltage-activated calcium currents in teleost retinal horizontal cells.
Two voltage-activated calcium currents, a transient T-type and a PL-sustained type, have been measured in isolated, cultured white bass horizontal cells. These two voltage-activated calcium currents were found to be modulated by two independent second-messenger systems. Furthermore, activation of either second-messenger system led to similar changes in calcium current activity. Activation of th...

متن کاملCalcium acts as a first messenger through the calcium-sensing receptor in the cardiovascular system.
It is well known that calcium is an important second messenger in the cardiovascular system. However, recent studies suggest that, in addition to its many functions as an intracellular messenger, Ca(2+) may also be an extracellular first messenger through the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR). The CaR belongs to family C of the G-protein-coupled receptors, which are also known as seven transmembra...
