Calcium Influx

Molecular classification
Ion channel, Receptor, Other
01

Overview

Calcium influx refers to the flow of calcium ions (Ca²⁺) into a cell or cellular compartment, typically from the extracellular space or from intracellular stores such as the endoplasmic reticulum. This process is fundamental in cellular physiology and underlies many critical biological functions, including neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, fertilization, and regulation of enzyme activity. Dysregulation of calcium influx can contribute to various diseases.
