Genes expression of calcium signaling molecules in salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster larvae.

Genes expression of the Itp-r-83A, Ca-P60A, olf186-F which encode inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase and Oral protein--component of the store-operated Ca(2+)-entry respectively, was determined in salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster larvae. For this purpose, the method of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used. Our results suggest that mentioned Ca(2+)-transport systems play an important role in maintaining of Ca(2+)-homeostasis in larval salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster.
