Abstract
Ca2+-ATP pumps play a vital role in intracellular calcium homeostasis and signaling. They remove excess Ca2+ from the cytoplasm, either into the lumen of the intracellular sarcoplasmic reticulum/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) network or out of the cell, and fine-tune local calcium concentrations allowing for proper functioning of a variety of Ca2+-dependent reactions. They are also integral components of Ca2+-dependent cellular events and cascades that are regulated by precisely controlled Ca2+ concentrations.
