Abstract excerpt
Multiple studies have shown that phospholamban (PLN) plays a key role in regulation of frequency-dependent increase of cardiac contraction, a hallmark of the contractile reserve in myocardium. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain elusive. Phosphorylation of PLN occurs on residues: serine-16 (Ser(16)) and threonine-17 (Thr(17)) in vivo. In isolated wild-type cardiomyocytes, we found that...
