Abstract excerpt
Myocardial hypertrophy is characterized by abnormal intracellular Ca2+ handling and decreased contractile performance. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) phosphorylates numerous Ca2+ handling proteins and thus can regulate intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis directly. We therefore investigated whether differential expression of CaMKII isoforms occurs with cardiac hypertrophy which might promote an...
