Abstract
The entry of Ca2+ in rat synaptosomes was followed with a Ca2+-selective electrode. Extracellular ATP is necessary for the entry which is a function of synaptosomal protein, free Ca2+ and glutamate concentrations. Ketamine, glycine and kainate have negligible effect while quisqualate slightly inhibits the uptake of Ca2+ in the presence of glutamate. The added ATP is hydrolyzed by the synaptosomes through an ouabain-insensitive ecto-ATPase affected by the presence of Ca2+, glutamate and, to a slight extent, NMDA.File in questo prodotto:
