Abstract

The cytosolic calcium level ([Ca 2+] i) and the membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase activity in the isolated rat intestinal epithelial cells were investigated. Heat-stable enterotoxin of Vibrio cholerae non-01 (NAG-ST) was found to increase both the [Ca 2+] i and the enzyme activity. These changes occur similarly until 5 min of incubation with NAG-ST, indicating that these changes might be involved in NAG-ST induced signal transduction in rat enterocytes.
