Abstract excerpt
Junctate is an integral sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum protein expressed in many tissues including heart and skeletal muscle. Because of its localization and biochemical characteristics, junctate is deemed to participate in the regulation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. However, its physiological function in muscle cells has not been investigated yet. In this study we examined the effects of junctate...
