Abstract:
This review summarizes the physiology and pathophysiology of calcium homeostasis. The calcium balance and how it is controlled by various hormones and by Ca2+ itself will be discussed in the first section. The second section deals with the predominant role of cytosolic Ca2+ as a second messenger controlling cell function.
