Gene Knock-Outs of Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptors Types 1 and 2 Result in Perturbation of Cardiogenesis
1 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3R1, 2, and 3) are intracellular Ca2+ release channels that regulate various vital processes. Although the ryanodine receptor type 2, another type of intracellular Ca2+ release channel, has been shown to play a role in embryonic cardiomyocytes, the functions of the IP3Rs in cardiogenesis remain unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We found that...
