N,N-Dimethyl-D-erythro-Sphingosine Inhibits Store-Operated Ca2+ Entry in U937 Monocytes

Calcium is a ubiquitous second messenger that controls a broad range of cellular functions, and store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the primary mechanism of regulated Ca2+ entry in non-excitable immunocytes. In this study, we found that N,N-dimethyl-D-erythro-sphingosine (DMS) inhibited SOCE. In...
