| sodium-calcium exchanger | An electrogenic ion exchange protein that maintains a steady level of calcium by removing an amount of calcium equal to that which enters the cells. It is widely distributed in most excitable membranes, including the brain and heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dibasic calcium phosphate | CaHPO4-2H2O;used as a calcium and phosphorus dietary supplement. Synonym: calcium monohydrogen phosphate, secondary calcium phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |

| intestinal calcium-binding protein | <protein> Calcium-binding proteins containing the EF hand motif, induced by vitamin D3. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ionised calcium | <biochemistry> The ionised calcium represents the calcium (Ca++) that is the metabolically active calcium. Normal values for ionised calcium in the bloodstream should be 4.4 to 5.3 mg/dl for adults and 4.4 to 6.0 mg/dl for children. Elevations may be seen in hyperparathyroidism, metastatic bone tumour, milk-alkali syndrome, multiple myeloma, Paget's disease, sarcoidosis, PTH-secreting tumours (paraneoplastic syndrome) and vitamin D intoxication. Lower than normal values may be seen in hypoparathyroidism, malabsorption, osteomalacia, pancreatitis, renal failure, rickets and vitamin D deficiency. (27 Sep 1997) |
| tertiary calcium phosphate | Ca3(PO4)2;used as an antacid. Synonym: bone ash, bone phosphate, tertiary calcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, whitlockite. (05 Mar 2000) |

| edetate calcium disodium | Contracted name for a salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetate, an agent used as a chelator of lead and some other heavy metals. Available in several forms: disodium, sodium, and trisodium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tribasic calcium phosphate | Ca3(PO4)2;used as an antacid. Synonym: bone ash, bone phosphate, tertiary calcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, whitlockite. (05 Mar 2000) |
