Sentence examples for modulate calcium uptake from inspiring English sources

Since we recently reported that CCN3 may interact with Ca2+ binding proteins like fibulin-1C, modulate calcium uptake, and considering that Ca2+ binding modulates function of other protein partners such as integrins [reviewed in [ 33]], it is conceivable that secreted CCN3 could assume an altered conformation by binding bivalent cations, directly or indirectly, like Ca2+ present in culture media.

Magnesium plays a role in many enzymatic processes, and it is an important component in the mitochondrial structure and function; it modulates cellular potassium permeability and affects calcium uptake and its distribution [ 64, 65].

CCN3-S100A4 interaction provides another pathway for stimulating calcium entry induced by CCN3: S100A4 could modulate cellular calcium levels via its roles in calcium uptake, transport and buffering [ 52].

The free calcium ions in the cytosol are removed by an energy-dependent calcium uptake system involving calcium ion pumps located in the longitudinal sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Modulated both by genetic transcription after transportation to the nucleus [49], and by direct interaction with muscle cell membranes resulting in second-messenger pathways [50], the 1,25OHD VDR interaction results in increased calcium uptake within muscle cells [51].

(A) The critical site for calcium uptake activity of MCU.

Further investigations were focussed on the sites of otolithic calcium uptake using the fluorescent calcium tracer alizarin-complexone (AC).

A calcium uptake assay also showed response to the neuronal excitotoxic agent glutamic acid.

Calcium uptake analysis revealed that myricitrin inhibited 45Ca2+ influx under a K+-induced depolarization condition.

Rogers et al. (2003) have reported reduced calcium uptake in lead-exposed rainbow trout.

In this section, we investigate how calcium concentration affects exocytosis and how calcium uptake can increase the period of oscillation.
