Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization events were assessed in mouse L cells, which contain native prostaglandin E1 receptors and transfected human beta 2 adrenergic receptors. Both Fura2 (single cell measurements) and Quin 2, (cuvette assays) were used to determine [Ca2+]i levels. Our results demonstrate
Ca(2+) is a highly versatile second messenger that plays a key role in the regulation of many cell processes. This versatility resides in the fact that different signals can be encoded spatio-temporally by varying the frequency and amplitude of the Ca(2+) response. A typical example of an organized
