Engagement of epidermal growth factor (EGF) with its receptor (EGFR) produces a broad range of cancer phenotypes. The overriding aim of this study was to understand EGFR signaling and its regulation by the Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM) dependent protein kinase kinase 2

Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, called efferocytosis, requires calcium inside and outside of phagocytes. Due to its necessity, calcium flux is sophisticatedly modulated, and the level of intracellular calcium in phagocytes is ultimately elevated during efferocytosis. However, the role of elevated

Although psychotropic drugs act on neurons and glial cells, how glia respond, and whether glial responses are involved in therapeutic effects are poorly understood. Here, we show that fluoxetine (FLX), an anti-depressant, mediates its anti-depressive effect by increasing the gliotransmission

The phosphorylation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) by GPCR kinases (GRKs) facilitates arrestin binding and receptor desensitization. Although this process can be regulated by Ca2+-binding proteins such as calmodulin (CaM) and recoverin, the molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we
