Calcitonin (CT)‐secreting cells (C‐cells) are remarkably sensitive to changes in the
extracellular Ca2+ concentration. In order to detect the mechanism by which C‐cells monitor
Ca2+, we compared a C‐cell line responding to Ca2+ (rMTC cells) with another one known
to have a defect in this Ca2+ signal transduction (TT cells). Rises of the Ca2+ concentration
caused rMTC cells to depolarize and/or elicited spontaneous action potentials. Under
voltage‐clamp conditions, rMTC cells showed a slowly decaying Ca2+ inward current which …
