Calcium is a common signaling mechanism, as once it enters the cytoplasm it exerts allosteric regulatory affects on many enzymes and proteins. Our most popular Calcium signaling reagents are:
-
Calcimycin also known as (A23187) is a calcium ionophore with antibiotic properties that kill gram positive bacteria and fungi. This ionophore increases intracellular Ca2+ concentrations, and can either initiate or prevent apoptosis in different cell types A23187.
-
Ionomycin is selective for calcium ions (Ca2+); it increases membrane permeability to calcium. Reported to be more effective Ca++ ionophore than A23187.
-
Calmodulins(CaM) is a ubiquitous, calcium-binding protein that can bind to and regulate a multitude of different protein targets, thereby affecting many different cellular functions.
