Abstract excerpt
Sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPases (SERCA) are cellular pumps that transport Ca(2+) into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Serca2 is the most widely expressed gene family member. The very early embryonic lethality of Serca2(null) mouse embryos has precluded further evaluation of loss of Serca2 function in the context of organ physiology. We have generated mice carrying a conditional Serca2(flox) allele...
