In rat hepatocytes, vanadate modifies neither the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP nor the --cyclic AMP/+cyclic AMP activity ratio for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Vanadate can, however, counteract the increase in cyclic AMP and the increase in the --cyclic AMP/+cyclic AMP activity ratio of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase induced by glucagon. On the other hand, vanadate treatment of hepatocytes can produce a time- and concentration-dependent increase in cyclic AMP- and Ca2+-independent casein kinase activity. Maximal activation at the optimal time with 5 mM-vanadate was about 70% over control. A clear relationship was observed between the activation of casein kinase and the inactivation of glycogen synthase after vanadate treatment. These results suggest that casein kinase activity may be involved in vanadate actions in rat hepatocytes.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
