Abstract excerpt
The immunophilin FKBP12 binds the skeletal muscle Ca2+ release channel or ryanodine receptor (RyR1), but the functional consequences of this interaction are not known. In this study, we have generated skeletal muscle specific FKBP12-deficient mice to investigate the role of FKBP12 in skeletal muscle. Primary myotubes from these mice show no obvious change in either Ca2+ stores or resting Ca2+ levels but display...
