Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors in the heart
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is an established calcium-mobilizing messenger, which is well-known to activate Ca2+ signaling in many cell types. Contractile cardiomyocytes express hormone receptors that are coupled to the production of InsP3. Such

Inositol Adenophostin: Convergent Synthesis of a Potent Agonist of d-myo-Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors [PDF]
D-myo-Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are Ca2+ channels activated by the intracellular messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3, 1). The glyconucleotide adenophostin A (AdA, 2) is a potent agonist of IP3Rs. A recent synthesis of D-chiro-

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors are essential for fetal-maternal connection and embryo viability. [PDF]
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are a family of intracellular Ca2+ release channels located on the ER membrane, which in mammals consist of 3 different subtypes (IP3R1, IP3R2, and IP3R3) encoded by 3 genes, Itpr1, Itpr2, and Itpr3 ...

Mice lacking inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors exhibit dry eye. [PDF]
Tear secretion is important as it supplies water to the ocular surface and keeps eyes moist. Both the parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways contribute to tear secretion. Although intracellular Ca2+ elevation in the acinar cells of lacrimal glands is a

Inositol 1,4,5‐Trisphosphate Receptors Regulate Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Neointima Formation in Mice [PDF]
Background Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is involved in many types of arterial diseases, including neointima hyperplasia, in which Ca2+ has been recognized as a key player. However, the physiological role of Ca2+ release via inositol 1,

Intracellular calcium channels: Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors [PDF]
The inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs) are the major intracellular Ca(2+)-release channels in cells. Activity of InsP3Rs is essential for elementary and global Ca(2+) events in the cell. There are three InsP3Rs isoforms that are present in mammalian cells. In this review we will focus primarily on InsP3R type 1.

Apical localization of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors is independent of extended synaptotagmins in hepatocytes. [PDF]
Extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) are a recently identified family of proteins that tether the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane (PM) in part by conferring regulation of cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) at these contact sites (Cell, 2013). However,

Inositol 1,4,5‐Trisphosphate Receptors in Endothelial Cells Play an Essential Role in Vasodilation and Blood Pressure Regulation [PDF]
Background Endothelial NO synthase plays a central role in regulating vasodilation and blood pressure. Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization is a critical modulator of endothelial NO synthase function, and increased cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in endothelial ...
