Preferred Label : calcium signaling;
MeSH definition : Signal transduction mechanisms whereby calcium mobilization (from outside the cell
or from intracellular storage pools) to the cytoplasm is triggered by external stimuli.
Calcium signals are often seen to propagate as waves, oscillations, spikes, sparks,
or puffs. The calcium acts as an intracellular messenger by activating calcium-responsive
proteins.;
MeSH synonym : calcium signalings; signaling, calcium; signalings, calcium;
MeSH hyponym : calcium waves; calcium sparks; calcium spikes; calcium puffs; Calcium Wave; Wave, Calcium; Waves, Calcium; Calcium Oscillations; Calcium Oscillation; Oscillation, Calcium; Oscillations, Calcium; Calcium Spike; Spike, Calcium; Spikes, Calcium; Calcium Puff; Puff, Calcium; Puffs, Calcium; Calcium Spark; Spark, Calcium; Sparks, Calcium;
