Cell Signaling II
Trimeric G-proteins
Biosynthesis of PI(4,5)P2
Cleavage of PI(4,5)P2 by Phospholipase C-β
GPCR → Gq → Phospholipase C-β
Maintaining Low Cytosolic [Ca2+] 3
Maintaining Low Cytosolic [Ca2+]
IP3 Receptor, Ca2+ Channel WHS (Following the cytosolic Ca2+ signal, the channels close and Ca2+ is removed from the cytosol by the mechanisms described earlier.)
Waves of Ca2+ Release
Vasopressin-induced Ca2+ Oscillations
Calmodulin
CaM-kinase II (Ca2+-calmodulin dependent protein kinase II)
CaM-kinase II can decode Ca2+ Oscillations
