  1. Statistics: One-way ANOVA (P < 0.05) followed by Newman-Keuls multiple comparison post-hoc test to compare all genotypes relative to WT (2.5 mM Ca2+); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005, ***P < 0.0005.
  2. # Transient time was measured from the onset of the transient until the signal decayed to baseline.
