Basic mechanisms of cellular calcium homeostasis.
This contribution summarizes some basic principles of calcium distribution and calcium movements in eukaryotic cells. Emphasis is placed upon modes of calcium entry into cells, routes of calcium extrusion from cells, subcellular distribution of calcium, and the regulatory role of calcium for the control of membrane permeability to calcium itself and to other ions.
