Many additional reactions that have been already described previously in our paper are not in this table. The parameters are in previous papers (Dickson et al., 2013; Falkenburger et al., 2013). We added Ca2+-sensitive PLC activation in our model. In this table and calculation, the units of concentration and area are µM and µm2, respectively.
