ABSTRACT
The role of rapidly exchanging intracellular Ca^2+^ stores in the control of Ca^2+^ homeostasis is reviewed. The following issues are discussed: the reasons why such stores exist in eukaryotic cells; the differences between the terminal cisternae of the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum, which have direct, physical connection with the T tubules of the plasmalemma, and the Ca^2+^ stores located in the depth of the cytoplasm, which are stimulated by second messengers; the cytological nature (subcompartments of the ER) of the rapidly exchanging Ca^2+^ stores and their functional significance. The conclusions introduce recent developments in which intracellular Ca^2+^ stores have been investigated also by molecular biology techniques.

Mechanisms that regulate the amount of releasable Ca2-in intracellular stores of cultured mouse astrocytes were investigated using digital imaging of fura-2 loaded cells. At rest, the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, [Ca2 +Icrt, was about 110 nM. In the absence of extracellular Ca", cyclopiazonic aci
Experiments were undertaken to investigate the role of intracellular Ca'+ stores in the regulation of Ca2+ uptake in the cultured B-lymphocytic cell line CH12.LX.C4.5F5. Release of intracellular C a l f stores by addition of thapsigargin was accompanied by a biphasic increase in intracellular calciu
The release of Ca 2Ο© from intracellular stores is an important trigger for secretion in many cell types. Depending on the spatial relationship between the intracellular Ca 2Ο© stores and the site of exocytosis, the Ca 2Ο© signal can be very local or spread throughout the entire cell. Here, we review h
The regulation of cytosolic Ca 2+ has been investigated in growing root-hair cells of Sinapis alba L. with special emphasis on the role of the plasmamembrane Ca 2 +-ATPase. For this purpose, erythrosin B was used to inhibit the Ca2+-ATPase, and the Ca 2+ ionophore A23187 was applied to manipulate cy
