Review
A novel role of Ca2+ and Zn2+: protection of cells against membrane damage
Biosci Rep.
1988 Dec.
Abstract
Certain cytotoxic agents damage cells by the induction of pores across their plasma membrane. Ca2+ and Zn2+ protect against such damage by promoting pore closure. Zn2+ may play a beneficial role in this regard in certain disease states.
