Impaired plasma membrane calcium ATPase activity and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to calcium dysregulation in Fabry disease-related painful neuropathy by Francesco Formaggio, Asia Pizzi, Cecilia Delprete, Davide Pasqualini, Isabella Mataloni, Roberto Rimondini, Ludovica Campolongo, Vincenzo Donadio, Anna Maria Ghelli, Rocco Liguori, Marco Caprini

“…The obtained results suggest that other transport proteins participate in Ca2+ homeostasis in FD and their dysfunction may be directly involved in nociception. In this context, plasma-membrane Ca2+ ATPases exhibited reduced activity in FD, leading to an increased resting [Ca2+]i in sensory neurons. …”
