Abstract excerpt
Regulation of Calcium (Ca) cycling by the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) underlies the control of cardiac contraction during excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling. Moreover, alterations in E-C coupling occurring in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure are characterized by abnormal Ca-cycling through the SR network. A large body of evidence points to the central role of: a) SERCA and its regulator phospholamban...
