    This network models an oscillatory calcium response to GPCR mediated PLCbeta activation, alongwith detailed InsP3 metabolism in the neuron. It is similar to the Osc_Ca_IP3metab model (accession 24) except that some enzymes in the InsP3 metabolism network have been modified to have reversible kinetics rather than Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The modified enzymes belong to the groups: IP4-system, IP3-3K, 145_dephos and 134_dephos. Mishra J, Bhalla US. Biophys J. 2002 Sep;83(3):1298-316.

    Arachidonic Acid. This messenger diffuses through membranes as well as cytosolically, has been suggested as a possible retrograde messenger at synapses.

    AA acting as a Substrate in a reaction in  
    Osc_Ca_IP3metabolism Network
    Kd is calculated only for second order reactions, like nA+nB <->nC or nA<->nC+nD, where n is number and A,B,C,D are molecules, where as for first order reactions Keq is calculated. Kd for higher order reaction are not consider.

      Ca-dependent AA activation of PKC. Note that this step combines the AA activation and also the membrane translocation. From Schaechter and Benowitz 1993 J Neurosci 13(10):4361

      AA stimulates PKC activity even at rather low Ca. Schaechter and Benowitz 1993 J Neurosci 13(10):4361 Note that this one reaction combines the initial interaction and also membrane translocation.

      This is one of the more interesting steps. Mechanistically it does not seem necessary at first glance. Turns out that one needs this step to quantitatively match the curves in Schaechter and Benowitz 1993 J Neurosci 13(10):4361 and Shinomura et al 1991 PNAS 88:5149-5153. There is a synergy between DAG and AA activation even at low Ca levels, which is most simply represented by this reaction. Tau is assumed to be fast. Kd comes from matching the experimental curves.
