title: Cyclic ADP-ribose: a novel Ca2+-mobilising second messenger.
abstract: Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) was discovered as a potent Ca2+-mobilising natural compound in sea urchin eggs. Recently, cADPR was reported to stimulate Ca2+ signalling in several higher eukaryotic cell systems (e.g., smooth and cardiac muscle cells, neuronal cells, adrenal chromaffin cells, macrophages, pancreatic acinar cells and T-lymphocytes). The following aspects of the role of cADPR as a Ca2+-mobilising second messenger are reviewed: coupling of metabolism of cADPR to stimulation of receptors in the plasma membrane, properties and pharmacology of Ca2+ release by cADPR and the involvement of cADPR in Ca2+ entry.
