Calcium ions (Ca2+) contribute to the physiology and biochemistry of organisms' cells. They play an important role in signal transduction pathways, where they act as a second messenger, in neurotransmitter release from neurons, in contraction of all muscle cell types, and in fertilization.

Ca2+ displays a highly ionic character in its bonding. The covalent contribution in bond formation increases as one moves across the series from Ca2+ to Zn2+.
