Since neurons can be depolarized by calcium and other positively charged ions, such as those the TRPV1 channel controls, we hope that this system may be effective at regulating neural activity.»
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have spotted a strong family trait in two distant relatives: The channels that permit entry of sodium and calcium ions into cells turn out to share similar means for regulating ion intake, they say.
«Bacterial and host cell proteins interact to regulate Chlamydia's «exit strategy»: New research suggests major role for calcium ion signaling in release of Chlamydia from infected cells.»
These findings suggest an important role for calcium ion signaling in regulating extrusion and could help improve understanding of how the bacterium leaves an infected cell and spreads within the body of an infected person of animal.
Albumin normally constitutes about 60 % of human plasma protein and plays an important role in regulating blood volume by maintaining the oncoosmotic pressure of blood needed to avoid edema, and by serving as the carrier for hydrophobic molecules, including lipid soluble hormones, bile salts, unconjugated bilirubin, free fatty acids (apoprotein), calcium, ions (transferrin), and some drugs (e.g., warfarin, phenobutazone, clofibrate & phenytoin).
Most calcifying organisms have evolved mechanisms to «up - regulate» their internal pH by pumping H + ions out of the compartment and raising internal pH. In addition pumping H + ions out of the calcifying compartments is beneficial because it maintains an electrical gradient that facilitates importing calcium ions (Ca + +) into the calcifying compartment.
Genes putatively related to calcification (e.g. calcium and inorganic carbon transport, H + transport and carbonic anhydrases) have been identified via gene expression studies comparing calcifying and non-calcifying E. huxleyi cells [25 — 29], or in short - term experiments where calcification was regulated by limitation of ions needed for calcification (i.e. Ca2 +, HCO3 − / CO32 − [26,30,31]-RRB-.
