Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores represents an important cell signalling process that is regulated, in mammalian cells, by inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), cyclic ADP ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). While the nature of the receptors for InsP3 and cyclic ADP ribose are known, here the lysosomal two-pore channel, TPC2, is shown to be the molecular target of NAADP.
