Summary of the functional analyses of antagonists on IP3-evoked Ca2+ release from permeabilized DT40-IP3R1-3 cells. The pEC50 values for IP3 and the maximal Ca2+ release are each expressed relative to the response evoked in paired controls without antagonist (Δ = control – response with antagonist). A positive Δ value demonstrates an inhibition of IP3-evoked Ca2+ release by the antagonist. The results with Xestospongins C and D are pooled from experiments that included pre-incubation periods of 7 and 12 min (see Supporting Information Table S1). Results are means ± SEM from three to nine experiments.
