Extracellular cation sensing by the enterocyte: prediction of a novel divalent cation "receptor".
We report that the divalent cation Ni2+ elicits elevations in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]) in cultured enterocytes. These elevations were monophasic, each response consisting of a rapid initial transient rise of cytosolic [Ca2+] to a peak value followed by an exponential decline. T...
