Peripheral serotonin regulates maternal calcium trafficking in mammary epithelial cells during lactation in mice.

Peripheral serotonin regulates maternal calcium trafficking in mammary epithelial cells during lactation in mice.

Lactation is characterized by massive transcellular flux of calcium, from the basolateral side of the mammary alveolar epithelium (blood) into the ductal lumen (milk). Regulation of calcium transport during lactation is critical for maternal and neonatal health. The monoamine serotonin (5-HT) is syn...
