Table 1. Basic biophysical properties of TPC1.

When K+ or Na+ was permeant ion, the cytosolic and luminal chambers contained symmetrical solutions of either 210 mM KCl or 210 mM NaCl. When Ca2+ was permeant ion, Tris/HEPES: Ca2+glutamate solutions were used (full details of solutions described in Materials and Methods). The holding potential is shown in mV. For measurements of Po in which NAADP was the sole activating ligand, 10 mM EGTA was first added to the cytosolic chamber to lower the [Ca2+] to subactivating concentrations prior to the addition of 100 nM NAADP. Values are mean ± SEM.
