Calcium Transporters

Calcium transporters are specialized proteins in our cells that help manage calcium levels, which are essential for various bodily functions, including muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and blood clotting. These transporters move calcium ions in and out of cells and between different compartments within cells, ensuring that calcium concentration stays balanced. There are different types of calcium transporters, including those that bring calcium into cells, those that pump it out, and those that store it. Proper functioning of calcium transporters is crucial for overall health, as imbalances can lead to various medical conditions.
