In this study we demonstrate that histone deacetylase (HDAC)-inhibitor mediated cell surface expression of the structural different NKG2D-ligands MICA/B and ULBP2 is calcium-dependent. Treatment with the calcium chelator EGTA inhibited constitutive as well as HDAC-inhibitor induced MICA/B and ULBP2 cell

Glutamate-stimulated, astrocyte-derived carbon monoxide (CO) causes cerebral arteriole dilation by activating smooth muscle cell large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels. Here, we examined the hypothesis that glutamate activates heme oxygenase (HO)-2 and CO production via the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i))/Ca(2+)-calmodulin signaling pathway

Our previous studies showed that the prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) stimulated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation in prothoracic glands of Bombyx mori both in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, the signaling pathway by which PTTH activates ERK phosphorylation
Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic disorder caused by a CAG expansion mutation in Huntingtin gene leading to polyglutamine (polyQ) expansion in the N-terminus side of Huntingtin (Httex1) protein. Neurodegeneration in HD is linked to aggregates formed by Httex1 bearing

Intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) is the most relevant modulator of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. Uniquely, an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) results in an inhibition of PTH secretion, and it probably exerts its function via calcium-binding protein pathways. The ubiquitous calcium-binding proteins, calmodulin
