The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Of the three intracellular Ca2+ signalling molecules (InsP3, cADPR and NAADP) sea urchin egg homogenate has been used in the identification and characterisation of two, cADPR and NAADP. Homogenate is prepared in a Na+/Cl- substitute of N-Methyl glucamine (NMG)/gluconate. To determine how media composition affects Ca2+ release we replaced NMG with various sugars or glycine and found a dramatic improvement in InsP3 mediated Ca2+ release. Conversely the response to cADPR was diminished, whilst NAADP was unaffected. Therefore modifying media composition may be an important consideration in using homogenate to study Ca2+ release for future studies. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
