Effects of ambient cadmium with calcium on mRNA expressions of calcium uptake related transporters in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae.

The mRNA expression levels of Ca²⁺ transporter genes including the epithelial calcium channel (ECaC), sodium/calcium exchanger 1b (NCX1b), and plasma membrane calcium ATPase 2 (PMCA2) were measured in zebrafish larvae after exposure to 0.08 μM Cd²⁺ in either water mixed with 0.2 mM Ca²⁺ (lCa) or 2 mM Ca²⁺ (hCa).
