Effects of mitogenic stimulation on the exchangeable pool of calcium in 3T3-cells
Cell Biology International Reports
|May 1, 1981
Abstract:
The exchange of calcium between cells and external medium was studied in quiescent and mitogenic stimulated sparse 3T3-cells. It was found that mitogenic stimulation caused a rapid reduction of the size of a calcium containing compartment that is exchangeable with the culture medium. Furthermore the mitogenic stimuli caused a translocation of calcium from this exchangeable compartment to a much less exchangeable compartment that is possibly located intracellularly.
