Calcium(2+)
| Name: | Calcium(2+) |
| Description: | A calcium cation that has formula Ca. An essential element in the function of the nervous system. The influx of Ca(2+) ions controlled by membrane channels affects many metabolic processes within neurons, and triggers the release of neurotransmitters. |
| Synonym(s): | calcium2+, Ca(2+), calcium ion, Ca2+, calcium(2+) ion, Ca, Ca++, calcium(II) cation, calcium++ |
| Has role: | Current carrier |
| Abbreviation: | Ca(2+) |
| Super-category: | Cation |
