Abstract—Intracellular calcium regulates a wide variety of physiological processes. Mitochondria cannot be considered as a static structure, as changes in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, resulting from activation of intracellular Ca2+ channels within the mitochondria, regulate several aspects of cell regulatory and signaling events. Well beyond its critical bioenergetic role in supplying ATP, mitochondria act as the centre of many diverse cellular functions, which integrate the signals between the organellae and the nucleus. In addition, a close relationship exists between mitochondrial bioenergetic pathways and calcium transport, which both may demand to activate cell signaling events. Thus, mitochondrial target in calcium homeostasis appears to be a prerequisite for proper functioning of the cell.
