Which receptors open up during the calcium-induced calcium release?(a) Ryanodine receptors(b) IP3 receptors(c) ligand-gated channels(d) C2H2 receptorsThe question was posed to me in an online quiz.Origin of the question is Cell Signaling and Signal Transduction topic in section Cell Signaling and Signal Transduction of Cell Biology

Answer» CORRECT option is (a) Ryanodine receptors

The best explanation: When limited AMOUNT of calcium ions enter the cell through open CHANNELS in the ENDOPLASMIC reticulum (ER) membrane, there is a subsequent opening of the ryanodine receptors, causing the influx of Ca^2+ ions in the cytosol – calcium-induced calcium release.
