The regulatory mechanism of Ca 2þ influx into the cytosol from the extracellular space in non-excitable cells is not clear. The ''capacitative calcium entry'' (CCE) hypothesis suggested that Ca 2þ influx is triggered by the IP 3mediated emptying of the intracellular Ca 2þ stores. However, there is n
