Abstract
Calcium is a decisive messenger for neuronal vivid functions. The calcium intracellular sequestering major unit is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Brownian motion of calcium could be bound to different buffers like S100B, calmodulin, etc, and different organelles. Plasma membrane channels like voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) and Plasma Membrane Calcium ATPase (PMCA), Orai channel could perturb the calcium concentration. To investigate the calcium interplay for intracellular signaling we have developed the two-dimensional time fractional reaction–diffusion equation. To solve this model analytically, we have used the Laplace and Fourier cosine integral transform method. By using Green’s function we obtained the compact solution in closed form with Mainardi’s function and Wright’s function. Uniqueness and existence proved the more fundamental approach to the fractional reaction–diffusion problem. The fractional Caputo approach gives better insight into this real-life problem by its nonlocal nature. Significant effects of different parameters on free calcium ions were obtained and the results are interpreted with normal and Alzheimeric cells. Non-local property and dynamical aspects are graphically presented which might provide insight into the Stromal interaction molecule (STIM) and S100B parameters.
