NAADP (nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is a potent Ca2+ -mobilizing messenger implicated in many Ca2+ -dependent cellular processes. It is highly unusual in that it appears to trigger Ca2+ release from acidic organelles such as lysosomes. These signals are often amplified by archetypal Ca2+ channels located in the endoplasmic reticulum. Recent studies have converged on the TPCs (two-pore channels) which localize to the endolysosomal system as the likely primary targets through which NAADP mediates its effects. 'Chatter' between TPCs and endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ channels is disrupted when TPCs are directed away from the endolysosomal system. This suggests that intracellular Ca2+ release channels may be closely apposed, possibly at specific membrane contact sites between acidic organelles and the endoplasmic reticulum.
