Expression of the muscular dystrophy-associated caveolin-3(P104L) mutant in adult mouse skeletal muscle specifically alters the Ca(2+) channel function of the dihydropyridine receptor.

Abstract excerpt

Caveolins are plasma-membrane-associated proteins potentially involved in a variety of signalling pathways. Different mutations in CAV3, the gene encoding for the muscle-specific isoform caveolin-3 (Cav-3), lead to muscle diseases, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we explored the functional consequences of a Cav-3 mutation (P104L) inducing the 1C type limb-girdle muscular...
