Abstract
Control of Ca2+ homeostasis is one of the fundamental activities of eukaryotic cells. In the extracellular medium the concentration of the free ion is maintained in the millimolar range whereas in the cytosol the resting value is approximately four orders of magnitude lower, yet the total calcium content per cell amounts to several millimoles per liter. This means that most of this calcium is not free, but bound to appropriate molecules and/or segregated within intracellular organelles. At each given time, the distribution of Ca2+ among the segregated, the cytosolic, and the extracellular compartments is the result of a complex, dynamic equilibrium that relies on the coordinated activation of specific pumps, transporters, and channels.
