| vanadate-activated calcium influx in a431 cells is dependent on the plasma membrane potential. | vanadate can activate the uptake of ca in a431 epidermal carcinoma cells by two- to fivefold with no detectable lag period. preincubation with epidermal growth factor (egf) to down-regulate the egf receptor prevents subsequent stimulation by egf but not that by vanadate. ca uptake is sodium-independent and is not activated by depolarization in high kcl. on the contrary, vanadate-stimulated uptake is completely inhibited by decreasing the plasma membrane potential from about -65 to -30 mv. these ... | 2012 | 3496344 |
