Abstract excerpt
Calcium-dependent mechanisms and the renin angiotensin system (RAS) are critically involved in the hypertrophic growth of the myocardium. The calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a ubiquitous mediator in calcium signaling and modulates calcium handling and growth mechanisms in cardiomyocytes. Here we present data on expression of cardiac isoforms of CaMKIIdelta, the dominant form in the...
