Description:
Axons were loaded with calcium, rapidly frozen, and freeze-substituted. The endoplasmic reticulum, in addition to mitochondria, contained calcium deposits, as indicated by electron probe x-ray microanalysis. Oxalate injected into living axons helped to preserve calcium-containing deposits during preparation for microscopy. It is concluded that the endoplasmic reticulum is a calcium-sequestering compartment in the squid giant axon.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Henkart, M P -- Reese, T S -- Brinley, F J Jr -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Dec 22;202(4374):1300-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/725607" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
