Lysosome-sarcoplasmic reticulum junctions. A trigger zone for calcium signaling by nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate and endothelin-1.
Previous studies on pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells have shown that nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) evokes highly localized intracellular Ca(2+) signals by mobilizing thapsigargin-insensitive stores. Such localized Ca(2+) signals may initiate global Ca(2+) waves and cont...
