Abstract:
Consideration of the data from a number of sources indicates that the concentration of Ca2+ in the endoplasmic reticulum is very high and perhaps in the mM range. A number of implications flow from this-an important one being that the magnitude of Ca2+ gradients across the endoplasmic and plasma membranes are very similar.
