  • Data are presented as t1/2Rise ± SD (n, N), where t1/2Rise indicates half-rise time in seconds. N.A., not applicable, because of intermittent responses (†) or low-amplitude signals masked by baseline noise (††). N.D., not determined. The bolded font indicates significant difference from wild-type control. Student’s t tests were performed against WT control at the same frequency in 0.1 mM Ca2+ (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001) or in 0.5 mM Ca2+ (+p < 0.05, ++p < 0.01, +++p < 0.001).
