Bidirectional Ca2+-dependent control of mitochondrial dynamics by the Miro GTPase.

abstract：:Excitation-evoked Ca(2+) influx is the fastest and most ubiquitous chemical trigger for cellular processes, including neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, and gene expression. The voltage dependence and timing of Ca(2+) entry are thought to be functions of voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channels composed of a ce...
