Intracellular Ca2+-calmodulin system involved in the palytoxin-induced K+ release from rabbit erythrocytes. 1986

H Nagase, and H Ozaki, and H Karaki, and N Urakawa

Palytoxin (PTX) caused K+ release from rabbit erythrocytes which was dependent on the concentrations of extracellular Ca2+ and PTX. In a Ca2+-free solution, PTX still caused a slow K+ release. An intracellular Ca2+ antagonist, TMB-8, an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, quin 2, and calmodulin inhibitors, prenylamine, W-7 and W-5, inhibited the PTX-induced K+ release in a Ca2+-free solution. These results suggest that the PTX-induced K+ release is dependent on the process including intracellular Ca2+ and calmodulin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D011299 Prenylamine A drug formerly used in the treatment of angina pectoris but superseded by less hazardous drugs. Prenylamine depletes myocardial catecholamine stores and has some calcium channel blocking activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1406) Corontin,Difril,Segontin
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.
