Targeting the calcium ATPase to the endoplasmic reticulum
The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) pumps calcium from the<br/>cytoplasm into the lumen of the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR), removing<br/>excess Ca2+ from the cytoplasm and replenishing ER/SR Ca2+ stores. SERCA is located in<br/>both the ER and the ER-Golgi …

Structural studies on the plant plasma membrane calcium-ATPase
The plasma membrane Ca$\sp{2+}$-ATPase is a ubiquitous membrane protein that mediates the active transport of calcium out of the cytoplasm into the cell exterior. In plant cells it is believed to play a major regulatory role in signal transduction by helping to maintain a large gradient of calcium …

The Secretory Pathway Calcium ATPase 2C promotes increased cytosolic calcium levels
… acinar cell exocytosis requires precise calcium (Ca2+) signals. When cytosolic Ca2+ levels remain high, cellular functions are disrupted, which is associated with initiation of pancreatitis. Ca2+ signals are achieved through regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores, Ca2+ATPases, and …

Plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) and inflammation of the aortic endothelium
… including atherosclerosis. Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) belongs to a family of transmembrane ion transporters that extrude calcium from the cytosol to the extracellular environment (Strehler, 2015). They are the only high-affinity Ca2+ extrusion system in mammalian cells encoded …

Role of the Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase as a Negative Regulator of Angiogenesis
… One possibility is the plasma membrane calcium ATPases (PMCAs). These high affinity calcium extrusion pumps have been shown to interact with calcineurin in mammalian cells and cardiomyocytes and down-regulate the calcineurin/NFAT pathway. This is hypothesised to be due to the interaction …

Untersuchung der funktionellen Interaktion zwischen der sarkolemmalen Calcium-ATPase und der neuronalen NO-Synthase
Die Plasmamembrancalcium-ATPase (PMCA) konnte als Interaktionspartner und Inhibitor der neuronalen NO-Synthase (nNOS) in Kardiomyozyten identifiziert werden. PMCA und nNO-Synthase kommen in Caveolae von Kardiomyocyten vor. Humane PMCA4b überexprimierende Rattenherzen zeigen ex vivo eine signifikant …

Investigating the expression of plasma membrane calcium ATPase (PMCA) in patient-derived glioblastoma cultures
… this thesis explores the role of Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPases (PMCAs) in the pathology of glioblastoma, with a specific focus on isoforms PMCA1, PMCA2, and PMCA4. Patient-derived glioblastoma cultures and biopsy samples were employed to investigate PMCA expression patterns at both the …

A NOVEL SELECTIVE INHIBITOR FOR PLASMA MEMBRANE CALCIUM ATPase 4 IMPROVES VEGF-MEDIATED ANGIOGENESIS
… shown a novel role for the plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) protein as a negative regulator of VEGF-induced angiogenesis via interaction with calcineurin. The recent identification of aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) as a selective inhibitor of PMCA4 prompted us to hypothesise that …

Mutations in Phospholamban Alter the Structure and Function of the Calcium ATPase Regulatory Complex
… plays an important role in regulation of cardiac calcium handling and contractility. PLB exists as a homopentamer in the membrane, which upon deoligomerization into active monomers reversibly inhibits sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA). Mutations in PLB that change the PLB …

Regulation of VEGF-activated signalling by the plasma membrane calcium ATPase 4 in endothelial cells
… reported a negative role for the Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase 4 (PMCA4) protein in endothelial cells, acting via inhibition of the pro-angiogenic calcineurin/NFAT signalling pathway. However, we hypothesise that other intracellular pathways might be regulated by PMCA4 in endothelial cells during …

PHARMACOLOGICAL MODULATION OF SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM CALCIUM ATPASE AND CALCIUM RELEASE CHANNELS FOR MUSCLE CELL PROTECTIVE ACTION
… Ca2+ homeostasis, the L-type Ca2+ channels (calcium channel blockers). Other agents, like beta blockers, indirectly target various elements, including sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) and ryanodine receptors (RyRs). However, there are no pharmacological agents that directly and …

The Role of Membrane Lipid Composition on Sarco(endo)plasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase Function in Rat Soleus Muscle
Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) is a transmembrane protein whose function is regulated by its immediate lipid environment (annulus). The composition of the annulus is currently unknown or it’s susceptibility to a high saturated fat diet (HSFD). Furthermore it is uncertain if …

Magnesium Regulation of Calcium in Essential Hypertension
… and its impact on the functional ability of the calcium ATPase. Rats were fed either a magnesium-deficient or a magnesium-sufficient diet for 10 weeks, after which the calcium ATPase activity was measured in intact red blood cells (RBC). Free intracellular calcium [Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i accumulation …

Mechanisms of Calcium Buffering and Aging in Neurons: Testing the Limits of Homeostasis
<p>Intracellular calcium ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]i) is an ubiquitous second messenger that integrates multiple and diverse neuronal pathways that include development and maturation, gene expression, synaptic plasticity, transmitter release, excitability, and even cell death. Upon neuronal excitation the …
