JPT2: The missing link between intracellular Ca2+ release channels and NAADP?
Krogsaeter E., Tang R., Grimm C.
NAADP (nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a potent second messenger releasing Ca2+ from endolysosomes through two-pore channels (TPCs) and from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through type 1 ryanodine receptors (RyR1). How NAADP activates these channels, whether directly or indirectly, has been a matter of debate for more than a decade. Now a protein has emerged possibly providing the missing link between TPCs/RyR1 and NAADP.
