Open Access research shaping international environmental governance...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content exploring environmental law and governance, in particular the work of the Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law & Governance (SCELG) based within the School of Law.

SCELG aims to improve understanding of the trends, challenges and potential solutions across different interconnected areas of environmental law, including capacity-building for sustainable management of biodiversity, oceans, lands and freshwater, as well as for the fight against climate change. The intersection of international, regional, national and local levels of environmental governance, including the customary laws of indigenous peoples and local communities, and legal developments by private actors, is also a signifcant research specialism.

Abstract

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and apposed regions of the sarcolemma passively trap Ca2+ entering the cell to limit the rise in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration without SR pump involvement. When "leaky," the SR facilitates Ca2+ entry to the cytoplasm. SR Ca2+ release via inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs) propagates as calcium waves; IP(3)Rs alone account for wave propagation.
