“…Ca2+ depolymerizes microtubules both in vivo and in vitro, and blocks axoplasmic transport at high concentrations such as 1 m M ( Schlaepfer, 197 1 ;Schlaepfer and Bunge, 1973;Esquerro, Garcia, and Sanches-Garcia, 1980;Kanje et al, 1981 and1982;Gotoh, Takenaka, and Shozushima, 1983). Axoplasmic transport in an extruded axoplasm from a squid was reported to be normal for Ca2+ concentrations from 0 through 10 pM (Brady, Lasek, and Allen, 1985).…”
