Descriptor English: Calcium Signaling
Descriptor Spanish: Señalización del Calcio
Descriptor señalización por calcio
Entry term(s) ondas de calcio
oscilaciones de calcio
señalización del calcio
Scope note: Mecanismos de transducción de señales mediante los cuales estímulos externos desencadenan la movilización del calcio (desde el exterior de la célula o desde lugares de almacenamiento intracelular) hacia el citoplasma. Con frecuencia se observa que las señales del calcio se propagan como ondas, oscilaciones, espigas o ráfagas. El calcio actúa como mensajero intracelular mediante la activación de proteínas sensibles al calcio.

Scope note: Signal transduction mechanisms whereby calcium mobilization (from outside the cell or from intracellular storage pools) to the cytoplasm is triggered by external stimuli. Calcium signals are often seen to propagate as waves, oscillations, spikes, sparks, or puffs. The calcium acts as an intracellular messenger by activating calcium-responsive proteins.
