Three Pool Model of Calcium Signaling
Hariprasad, Daniel
Hariprasad, Daniel
Abstract
Mitochondria have been proposed to be an integral part of intracellular calcium signaling. We examine the two-pool model of intracellular calcium signaling by Goldbeter et al. 1990 [11] and propose a new model that uses the mitochondria. This creates a three-pool model for intracellular calcium signaling. We then proceed to discuss the differences between the two-pool and three-pool models by following the analysis of the two-pool model presented by Sneyd et al. 1993 [19]. The addition of the third pool does not change any of the dynamics of the two-pool model, but adds some functionality. The mitochondria acts like a buffer that has the ability to change the temporal dynamics, and we have a region of bistability that allows for dampened oscillations given the right stimulus and initial conditions.
