It is believed that information is “stored” in the spatio- temporal distribution of the calcium concentration. Thus, cells need to control very tightly its internal Ca 2+ concentration. In several instances and various cell types, calcium oscillations may be observed. Apparently oscillations would be used to relay information over prolonged time intervals (calcium_oscillations).(calcium_oscillations). Intracellular calcium waves. Intracellular calcium waves. Fontanilla and Nuccitelli Since the cytosolic calcium concentration cannot be too large for a prolonged period of time, cells use transient elevations of calcium to send messages.

Calcium is not free in the cytosol Calcium is contained in the endoplasmic (ER) or sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). (ver) (ver) It is also contained in the extracellular medium. Calcium enters the cytosol through specialized channels. Calcium channels can be voltage or ligand gated.voltageligand Calcium is removed from the cytosol by calcium pumps or ion exchangers that pump it out to the extracellular medium or into intracellular stores (SR or ER and mitochondria). It is also buffered by proteins.
