Cardiac-specific Expression of Calcineurin Reverses Embryonic Lethality in Calreticulin-deficient Mouse
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Calreticulin is an endoplasmic reticulum resident Ca(2+)-binding chaperone. The importance of the protein is illustrated by embryonic lethality because of impaired cardiac development in calreticulin-deficient mice. The molecular details underlying this phenotype are not understood. In this study, we show that overexpression of activated calcineurin reverses the defect in cardiac development observed in...
