Abstract: Rat kidney mitochondria take up large quantities of calcium by a process requiring ATP, magnesium ions, and an oxidizable substrate. Although the process requires ATP, it is not directly dependent upon oxidative phosphorylation or upon the operation of the entire electron transport chain. The rate of calcium uptake is not enhanced by vitamin D. It is inhibited strongly by dicumarol, antimycin A and 2,3-dimercaptopropanol and less strongly by phloridzin and p-chloromercuribenzoate, but not by dinitrophenol, azide, cyanide, oligomycin, and iodoacetate at the concentrations tested. The mitochondria apparently can bind about 15 calcium ions per molecule of ATP utilized. β’ Keywords: Calcium, Mitochondria
