Abstract excerpt
Phospholamban is an endogenous inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase and plays a prime role in cardiac contractility and relaxation. Phospholamban may be a candidate gene responsible for cardiomyopathy. We investigated genome sequence of phospholamban in patients with cardiomyopathy. PCR-based direct sequence was performed for the promoter region and the whole coding region of phospholamban in 87...
