Figure 1
Involvement of calreticulin in signal transduction pathways. Calreticulin is essential for integrin signaling and the dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NF-AT3. The size of the Ca2+ symbols reflects the differing concentrations in the extracellular space and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (10–3 M), as compared with the cytoplasm (10–5 M in systole and 10–7 M in diastole, with higher levels seen in Ca2+ sparks).
