Abstract
An increasing body of evidence has been presented to prove that endoplasmic reticulum plays an important role as rapidly exchanging intracellular Ca2+-store in the neural cells during normal and pathological conditions (1). This organelle appears to include an intracellular Ca2+-store able: i) to sequester Ca2+ via Ca2+ pumping activity (sarco/end-oplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase — SERCA), ii) to respond to InsP3-mediated agonists (metabotropic signals) and/or to Ca2+ (ionotropic signals), iii) to buffer Ca2+ via Ca2+-bind-ing proteins (2,3). From the functional point of view, the Ca2+-store not only initiates the Ca2+-signal releasing Ca2+ in the deeper cell structures in response to plasmalemnal receptor stimulation (acting as a source) but acts also as a buffering system or regulating barrier (sink) to protect the cell from Ca2+ overload (4).
