Abstract excerpt
Understanding which cytosolic domains of the dihydropyridine receptor participate in excitation-contraction (EC) coupling is critical to validate current structural models. Here we quantified the contribution to skeletal-type EC coupling of the alpha1S (CaV1.1) II-III loop when alone or in combination with the rest of the cytosolic domains of alpha1S. Chimeras consisting of alpha1C (CaV1.2) with alpha1S...
