Preventing Ca(2+)-leak during diastole may provide a means to improve overall cardiac function. The immunosuppressant FK506-binding protein 12.6 (FKBP12.6) regulates ryanodine receptor-2 (RyR2) gating and binds to and inhibits calcineurin (Cn). It is also involved in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). Here, we investigated the effects of FKBP12.6 over-expression and gender on Ca(2+)-handling proteins...
