A model of the physiological basis of a multivariate phenotype that is mediated by Ca(2+) signaling and controlled by ryanodine receptor composition.

Abstract excerpt

Calcium-signals occur in a wide variety of tissue types - from skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle to pancreatic and brain tissues. Ca(2+) signals regulate diverse processes including muscle contraction, hormone secretion, neural communication and gene expression. Together these different tissues and processes form the basis of a multivariate trait. Calcium signals are characterized by Ca(2+) transients, which...
