SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION:
Calcium Entry Signals--Trickles and Torrents

Donald L. Gill, Maria A. Spassova, Jonathan Soboloff

Two ion channels on the surface of cells control calcium influx, which is critical for cell signaling. One channel allows transient calcium entry and the other slower, more sustained flow.
