Calcium pools in sea urchin eggs: roles of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in relation to fertilization.

abstract：:Under certain conditions of Ca2+ loading, cardiac myocytes, both isolated and in intact tissue, exhibit spontaneous, oscillatory Ca2+ transients due to Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These transients are not triggered by depolarization of the sarcolemma, though they themselves can generate depolarizing ...
