Box 7.1 Physiological cell events triggered by intracellular Ca2+.

Cell excitability, e.g. nerves, bioluminescence.

Cell movement, e.g. muscle contraction, chemotaxis in inflammation.

Membrane fusion, e.g. endo- and exo-crine secretion, phagocytosis, endocytosis.

Cell division and development, e.g. fertilisation, cell cycle, differentiation.

Senses, e.g. vision, taste, hearing.

There are thus five key questions that we need to answer:

How is the Ca2+ signal generated?

What is the intracellular Ca2+ target?

How does the target trigger the cell event?

How does the cell return to rest?

What is the role of Ca2+ in generating the energy required for the event via the MgATP/MgADP + phosphate reaction?
