abstract：PURPOSE:Ca(2+) is a major regulator of cell function. In the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) is essential for the maintenance of normal retinal function. Therefore, accurate control of [Ca(2+)](i) is vital in these cells. Because Ca(2+) is permanently extruded fro...
