International conference on Na/CA Exchange (5th: 2006: Brussels, Belgium) Ed. by Andre Herchuelz et al. Blackwell Publishing 2007 547 pages $140.00 Paperback Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences The New York Academy of Sciences is the third oldest scientific society in the United States. An independent, non-profit organization with more than 25,000 members in 140 countries, the Academy’s mission is to advance understanding of science and technology. ; v.1096 QP535 Sixty-three papers from the August 2006 conference explore the NCX and PMCA mechanisms responsible for Ca2+ extrusion from cells. The researchers investigate genetics and molecular processes, the detailed structure-function relationship, the fine regulatory mechanisms, the physiological roles for the different NCX and PMCA gene products, NCX knockout mice, and cardiac function. Topics include a kinetic model of ionic and metabolic interactions, the effect of ionized i·on·ize tr. & intr.v. i·on·ized, i·on·iz·ing, i·on·iz·es To convert or be converted totally or partially into ions. i calcium on protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation phosphorylation, chemical process in which a phosphate group is added to an organic molecule. In living cells phosphorylation is associated with respiration, which takes place in the cell's mitochondria, and photosynthesis, which takes place in the chloroplasts. , Na/Ca exchange and cardiac ventricular arrhythmias, modulation pathways of NCX mRNA stability, and the analysis of calcium changes in endoplasmic endoplasmic pertaining to or arising from endoplasm. endoplasmic ribosomes small, cytoplasmic granules consisting of approximately 60% RNA and 40% protein. reticulum reticulum /re·tic·u·lum/ (re-tik´u-lum) pl. retic´ula [L.] 1. a small network, especially a protoplasmic network in cells. 2. reticular tissue. during apoptosis.
