Abstract

Accumulating evidence suggests that the endo-lysosomal system provides a substantial store of Ca(2+) that is tapped by the Ca(2+)-mobilizing messenger, NAADP. In this article, we review evidence that NAADP-mediated Ca(2+) release from this acidic Ca(2+) store proceeds through activation of the newly described two-pore channels (TPCs). We discuss recent advances in defining the sub-cellular targeting, topology and biophysics of TPCs. We also discuss physiological roles and the evolution of this ubiquitous ion channel family.
