Terminology question: IX where X is an ion: Does I mean ionized?

Featured Replies

So, I've come across a certain terminology aspect in literature.

It's like this: ICa.

 

2 fold increases in ICa cause 16 fold increase in release

 

I looked at this and thought, "Calcium iodide, what? No, the bonds don't work that way."

 

Anyway, I went online and about the only thing that made sense was that the I stands for "iodized."

 

Does this seem right to any of you?

 

This is the first time I've come across a term like this.
