Title: Fine-tuning calcium responses in cells generated through neurotransmitters

Abstract:
There are many ways that cells receive and interpret information, and one of the most important is the G protein pathway, specifically GPCR-Gαq-phospholipase Cβ. This pathway relays information from hormones and neurotransmitters outside the cell to elicit calcium signals inside the cell. These calcium signals in turn cause cell-specific responses such as movement, division or protein synthesis. While the major aspects of this signaling system are known, cells have devised methods to amplify or attenuate calcium signals depending on the environmental conditions and type of cell. This seminar will discuss some of these mechanisms.
