calcium ion binding involved in regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration

Term ID

GO:0099567

Synonyms

• calcium ion binding involved in regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium levels
• postsynaptic calcium ion buffering
• regulation of postsynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration by calcium ion buffering

Definition

The directed change of free calcium ion concentration in the postsynaptic cytosol via the reversible binding of calcium ions to calcium-binding proteins in the cytosol thereby modulating the spatial and temporal dynamics of changes in postsynaptic cytosolic calcium concentrations. (2)
