Calcium Signaling

Kalciumsignalering

Svensk definition

Signalöverföringsmekanismer med mobilisering av kalcium (utifrån eller från intracellulära depåer) i cytoplasman till följd av yttre stimulans. Calciumsignalerna fortplantar sig som vågor, svängningar , spikar eller små stötar. Kalcium fungerar som intracellulär budbärare genom att aktivera kalciummottagliga proteiner.

Engelsk definition

Signal transduction mechanisms whereby calcium mobilization (from outside the cell or from intracellular storage pools) to the cytoplasm is triggered by external stimuli. Calcium signals are often seen to propagate as waves, oscillations, spikes, sparks, or puffs. The calcium acts as an intracellular messenger by activating calcium-responsive proteins.
