Abstract

It has often been assumed that phospholipids play an important part in the binding of calcium to cell membranes. The calcium contained in the cell is largely concentrated in the phospholipid-rich membrane fractions, while the concentration of ionized calcium in the intracellular fluid is minimal (Thiers & Vallee, 1952; Hofer & Kleinzeller, 1963; Hodgkin & Keynes, 1957; Harris, 1957).
