Nicotinic cholinergic signaling in hippocampal astrocytes involves calcium-induced calcium release from intracellular stores.

abstract：:Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI 3-kinases) have been implicated in membrane trafficking in the secretory and endocytic pathways of yeast and mammalian cells, but the molecular mechanisms by which these lipid kinases operate are not known. Here we identify a protein of 170 kDa that is rapidly released from cell memb...
