Springer Calcium Signaling In Airway Smooth Muscle Cells Book

Explore the fundamental mechanisms of calcium signaling in this specialized scientific text from Springer. This book examines how calcium signaling drives cellular responses across various cell types, with a specific focus on airway smooth muscle cells. Readers will gain a detailed understanding of how universal signaling occurs through extracellular calcium influx and intracellular calcium release. The text explains how these processes are regulated by ion channels, exchangers, and transporters located on the plasmalemmal or sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. This resource provides in-depth information on calcium release channels, including ryanodine receptors and inositol trisphosphate receptors. It also covers voltage-dependent potassium channels, transient receptor potential channels, and Orai channels. It is a valuable resource for those studying biochemistry and biological sciences.
