Abstract

The calcium pump is an integral membrane protein, which regulates free citoplasmatic calcium using ATP energy. It controls citoplasmatic calcium concentrations below 0.1mM. It is located in all eucariotic cells in plasmalemma, sarcoendoplasmic reticulum and calciosomes. Its activity depends on ionic concentration, ATP hydrolysis and other regulators such as calmodulin, phospholipid and protein-kinases. This enzyme and its activity has been detected through several methods in the central nervous system as well as in other tissues.
