The correct spatial and temporal control of Ca 2+ signaling is essential for such cellular activities as fertilization, secretion, motility, and cell division. There has been a long‐standing interest in the role of caveolae in regulating intracellular Ca 2+ concentration. In this review we provide an updated view of how caveolae may regulate both Ca 2+ entry into cells and Ca 2+ ‐dependent signal transduction
