Vanadate can activate the uptake of Ca in A43 1 epidermal carcinoma cells by twoto fivefold with no detectable lag period. Preincubation with epidermal growth factor (EGF) to down-regulate the EGF receptor prevents subsequent stimulation by EGF but not that by vanadate. Ca uptake is sodium-independe
## Abstract Our aim was to test the effect of hypotonicity and extracellular Ca^2+^ (Ca~o~) on cell volume and membrane potential (V~M~) in barnacle muscle cells. Under isotonic conditions the resting V~M~ of isolated cells mounted in the experimental chamber exposed to either Ca^2+^βfree or Ca^2+^
