Springer Science+Business Media Calcium And Cellular Metabolism by J.R. Sotelo , J.C. Benech
When We Began To Organize The Workshop Calcium And Cellular Metabolism: Transport And Regulation The Goal We Had In Mind Was To Put Together The Knowledge Of 2 Several Specialists On Ca + Homeostasis With Various Examples Of Cellular Metabolisms 2 2 (Such As Protein Synthesis) Regulated By Ca + Ions. Regarding The Homeostasis Of Ca + Ions We Invited Ernesto Carafoli To Write The First Chapter As A General State-Of-The-Art Introductory Review. On The Other Hand The Other Chapters Are The Contribution Of Different Specialists On Membrane Calcium Transport Mechanisms Aiming To Reunite At Least In Part The Wide Field Of Calcium Homeostasis. We Roughly Try To Group Chapters That Share Similar Subjects. The First Group Of Chapters (Chapters 2 To 6) Are Mainly Related To Calcium Channels. Thus Chapter 2 By Rodolfo Llimis Et A!. Describes A New Concept Related To The Dimen Sions Of The Calcium Action Domain At The Inner Mouth Of Calcium Channels In The Squid Gi Ant Synapse And Its Relationship To Neurotransmitter Release. Chapter 3 By Martin Morad Et A!. Informs Us About New Ways Of Identifying And Measuring By Confocal Microscopy In Dividual Sites Where Calcium Release Occurs In Ventricular Myocytes. In The Same Group Osvaldo Uchitel And Eleonora Katz Classify And Evaluate The Variety Of Calcium Channels At The Neuromuscular Junction In Chapter 4. Chapter 5 By Gustavo Brum Et A!.
