Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is thought to mediate the release of calcium from endoplasmic reticulum (ER).(1) Cells in many types of tissue have the biochemical machinery required to produce IP3 when an appropriate receptor is activated in the plasma membrane, as well as intracellular stores for calcium that are sensitive to release by IP3.
