Abstract excerpt
Sarcolipin (SLN) inhibits the cardiac sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) by direct binding and is superinhibitory if it binds as a binary complex with phospholamban (PLN). To demonstrate whether overexpression of SLN in the heart might impair cardiac function directly, transgenic (TG) mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of NF-SLN (SLN tagged at its N terminus with the FLAG epitope) were...
