Calcium ions (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) are prominent cell signaling effectors that regulate a wide variety of cellular processes. Among the different players in Ca<sup>2+</sup> homeostasis, primary active Ca<sup>2+</sup> transporters are responsible for keeping low basal Ca<sup>2+</sup> levels in the cytosol while establishing steep Ca<sup>2+</sup> gradients across intracellular membranes or the plasma membrane. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the three types of primary active Ca<sup>2+< ...[more]
