Functional consequences of the interaction of Ni2+ with the osteoclast Ca2+ 'receptor'.

Ni2+ was used as an extracellular activator of the Ca2+ 'receptor' in order to study the regulation of osteoclast function in vitro. Application of different micromolar concentrations of Ni2+ to osteoclasts bathed in 1.25 mM [Ca2+] and 0.8 mM [Mg2+] caused a concentration-dependent elevati...
