Functional Consequences of Calcium Uptake Modulation by Taurine In Vivo and In Vitro

  • Chapter
Taurine 3

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 442))

Abstract

The development, function and maintenance of the central nervous system (CNS) tissue are regulated in a timed sequence of inductions by growth factors (GF) and neuroactive amino acids (NAA)16. Taurine in particular has been identified as a “balancing factor” in the glutamate system to modulate and stabilize calcium homeostasis or enantiostasis and thus calcium-dependent cellular functions (for reviews22,44,50,48).
