Evolution of mechanisms of Ca2+-signaling. Significance of Ca2+-messenger systems during transition of organisms to multicellularity

The review considers Ca2+-messenger systems in primitive multicellulars (sponges and hydrozoa organisms). Analysis is performed of Ca2+ participation in regulation of early development of the organisms, their mobility, metamorphosis, chemoreception, and some other functions.
