A novel mechanism of myocyte degeneration involving the Ca2+-permeable growth factor–regulated channel
9 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
Disruption of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex caused by genetic defects of dystrophin or sarcoglycans results in muscular dystrophy and/or cardiomyopathy in humans and animal models. However, the key early molecular events leading to myocyte degeneration remain elusive. Here, we observed that the growth factor-regulated channel (GRC), which belongs to the transient receptor potential channel family, is...
