Cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration levels fluctuate in an ordered manner along the cell cycle, in
line with the fact that Ca 2+ is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation. Cell proliferation …

The role of calcium ions (Ca2+) in cell functions is beginning to be unraveled at the
molecular level as a result of recent research on calcium-binding proteins and particularly …

In response to water spray, subirrigation, wind, touch, wounding, or darkness, Arabidopsis
regulates the expression of at least four touch-induced (TCH) genes. Ten to thirty minutes …

Myofascial pain syndrome is an important health problem. It affects a majority of the general
population, impairs mobility, causes pain, and reduces the overall sense of well‐being …

Calmodulin, a protein that binds calcium with high affinity and specificity, is structurally
conserved and functionally preserved throughout the animal and plant kingdoms. It serves …

Publisher Summary Calmodulin is the major intracellular, and intramembrane, Ca 2+
receptor. Its function is to detect free Ca 2+ and translate changes in Ca 2+ concentrations …

Many aspects of calcium homeostasis change with aging. Numerous calcium compartments
complicate studies of altered calcium regulation. However, age-related decreases in calcium …

In an actomyosin fraction isolated from human platelets, phosphorylation of the 20,000-
dalton light chain of myosin is stimulated by calcium and the calcium-binding protein …

Some calcium antagonists and calmodulin inhibitors enhance the intracellular levels of
vincristine and Adriamycin in vincristine-and Adriamycin-resistant P388 leukemia cells by …

A procedure adapted from that described by Mitchison and Kirschner [Nature 312: 232–237,
1984] was used to isolate centrosomes from human lymphoid cells. High yields of …
