Cellular mechanisms mediating agonist-stimulated calcium influx in the pancreatic acinar cell.

Journal Article (Review)

Figure 1 summarizes our current concept of a signaling mechanism to explain agonist-induced Ca2+ entry in the pancreatic acinar cell. We propose that cGMP can modulate Ca2+ entry under conditions of internal Ca2+ store depletion and that the NO signaling system may be involved in coupling Ca2+ depletion to cGMP formation. The finding that Ca2+ entry after Ca2+ store depletion can occur with no elevation in [Ca2+]i37 raises the possibility that alternative signaling pathways may converge to stimulate cGMP formation or that additional messengers may activate plasmalemmal Ca2+ entry mechanisms in parallel.
