Description
Calicum plays critical roles in developing T cells, promoting survival, proliferation, and differentiation at multiple stages of maturation. Calcium release from intracellular stores due to T cell receptor and pre-T cell receptor signaling is thought to require the inositol triphosphate receptors (Itpr), however the requirement for these receptors has not been investigated. We used microarrays to examine gene expression differences between control and Itpr deficient T cell progenitors.
