The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase2 (SERCA2) is downregulated in cardiac hypertrophy with decompensation. We sought to determine whether mice heterozygous for the SERCA2 allele would develop greater bladder hypertrophy and decompensation than their wild-type littermates following partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO). We found that following 4 wk of surgically created pBOO, SERCA2 heterozygous...
