TL;DR

The intracellular distribution of Ca2+ and, in particular, the level of cytosolic free Ca2+, are known to be extremely important in the regulation of many cellular processes, including metabolism, motility, exocytosis, membrane transport, and cell division.

Abstract

The intracellular distribution of Ca2+ and, in particular, the level of cytosolic free Ca2+ are known to be extremely important in the regulation of many cellular processes, including metabolism, motility, exocytosis, membrane transport, and cell division [1, 2]. In many cells, such as hepatocytes, the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration is thought to be controlled through the concerted action of Ca2+ transport systems located in the membranes of mitochondria [3], endoplasmatic reticulum [4], and plasmalemma [5].
