K. Yamagami et al., CD2-TRIPHOSPHATE IN BOVINE CHROMAFFIN CELLS( AND CO2+ AT MICROMOLAR CONCENTRATIONS MOBILIZE INTRACELLULAR CA2+ VIA THE GENERATION OF INOSITOL 1,4,5), Brain research, 798(1-2), 1998, pp. 316-319
To understand the mechanisms underlying the Cd2+- and Co2+-induced int
racellular Ca2+ mobilization, we measured the levels of inositol phosp
hates using bovine chromaffin cells. Studies using HPLC indicated that
Cd2+, Co2+ and methacholine significantly increased the generation of
1,4,5-IP3. The results suggest that Cd2+ and Co2+ mobilize Ca2+ from
IP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores, possibly through the presumptive Cd2+ recep
tor. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
