Background: Differentiating Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae respond upon cAMP-stimulation with an increase in the cytosolic free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i ) that is composed of liberation of stored Ca 2+ and extracellular Ca 2+ -influx. In this study we investigated whether intracellular cAMP is involved in the control of [Ca 2+ ] i .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
