Abstract

Objective: This review aims to reevaluate the molecular mechanisms of sarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-dependent ATPase (SERC-A) in Alzheimer's disease and discuss the implications of calcium regulation, particularly in relation to vascular risk and the function of voltage-gated calcium channels.


Methods: We comprehensively analysed existing literature to understand the role of calcium regulation in Alzheimer's disease, focusing on the internal instability of calcium levels and its association with vascular risk. Special attention was given to the molecular mechanisms of SERC-A and the functional aspects of voltage-gated calcium channels.


Results: The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is influenced by various factors, collectively disrupting normal neuronal functions. Internal instability of calcium levels emerges as a significant factor, with a notable connection to increased vascular risk – a condition prevalent in individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease. This review highlights the molecular intricacies of SERC-A in the disease context and provides insights into the functional significance of voltage-gated calcium channels.


Conclusion: Understanding the regulatory mechanisms of calcium, specifically the role of SERC-A and voltage-gated calcium channels, holds clinical relevance. The irregular function of SERC-A has been implicated in diverse alterations of brain function. Insights from this review may open new avenues for therapeutic alternatives targeting calcium dysregulation in Alzheimer's disease, providing potential interventions to address the underlying causes of neuronal dysfunction.
