Terms Related to Calcium Wave

• Signal Transduction

  The intercellular or intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active ...

• Exogenous Calcium Antagonists

  A class of drugs that act by selective inhibition of calcium influx through cell membranes or on the release and binding of calcium in intracellular ...

• Fura 2

  A fluorescent calcium chelating agent which is used to study intracellular calcium in many tissues. The fluorescent and chelating properties of Fura-2 aid in the ...

• Ionomycin

  A divalent calcium ionophore that is widely used as a tool to investigate the role of intracellular calcium in cellular processes.

• Calsequestrin

  Acidic protein found in SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM that binds calcium to the extent of 700-900 nmoles/mg. It plays the role of sequestering calcium transported to the ...

• CREB Protein

  A protein that has been shown to function as a calcium regulated transcription factor as well as a substrate for depolarization-activated calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinases ...

• Calcium Activated Potassium Channel

  Potassium channels whose activation is dependent on intracellular calcium concentrations.
