Cells have access to a very extensive Ca2+ signalling toolkit from which each cell type expresses a unique set of? components to create Ca2+ signalling systems with different spatial and temporal properties.
Such signalling systems are constantly being remodelled. A number of important disease states may result from abnormal remodelling of Ca2+ signalling systems. Congestive heart failure, a major cause of human morbidity and mortality, is controlled by a number of signalling pathways of which Ca2+ seems to play a prominent role.?
