(Upper) Data obtained from superfusion of
45Ca2+-loaded hepatic microsomes. At
t = 00.4 μM, Ca2+ and the indicated
[IP3] were added to the stimulus buffer and the
Ca2+ flux measured as a function of time. Full details are
given in ref. 18. (Lower) Model
IP3 dose responses. Initial conditions were R =
1; all other receptor states were zero (i.e., low
Ca2+, low IP3). At t = 00.4,μM Ca2+ was added, together with the indicated
[IP3].
