abstract：:The ubiquitous inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) intracellular Ca(2+) release channel is engaged by thousands of plasma membrane receptors to generate Ca(2+) signals in all cells. Understanding how complex Ca(2+) signals are generated has been hindered by a lack of information on the kinetic responses o...
