High pH-Sensitive Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry Mediated by Ca2+ Release-Activated Ca2+ Channels in Rat Odontoblasts

Odontoblasts play a crucial role in dentin formation and sensory transduction following the application of stimuli to the dentin surface. Various exogenous and endogenous stimuli elicit an increase in the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in odontoblasts, which is mediated by Ca2+ r...
