Calcium ion (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Ion

Overview

The calcium ion (Ca²⁺) is a divalent metal cation essential for various biological processes, including muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, signal transduction, and bone formation. It acts as a secondary messenger and plays a critical role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Disruptions in calcium ion levels can lead to various diseases and cellular dysfunction.
